Buelvas 61 DUKE UVA 58 remembered Plumlee powers Duke past Cavaliers for positivity

by Vignesh Nathan THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils may have been the favorite to win yesterday’s matchup with the Cavaliers, but it was not easy. Although they won, 61-58, it was not until the final seconds of the game that they could celebrate.

For much of last night’s game, No. 8 Duke (14-2, 2-0 in the ACC) consistently found itself playing a nasty game of catchup with a particularly formidable No. 16 Virginia (14-2, 1-1) squad. Fortunately for the Blue Devils, they pulled themselves together just in time to come away with an important conference victory.

Freshman Raul Buelvas could always be counted on for a smile.

Buelvas, who died Dec. 25 after a long battle with bone cancer, always maintained a positive attitude, even following his diagnosis with cancer and subsequent years of chemotherapy.

He was receiving treatment while he was on campus in the Fall but took medical leave in early November after Raul Buelvas contracting pneumonia.

“Raul had a great attitude since day one,” said his father, Raul Buelvas Jr., Trinity ’88. “He was not bitter about his disease [and] was a genuinely positive and upbeat person.”

In 2010, Buelvas applied to the Pratt School of Engineering among other engineering programs and, upon starting at Duke, loved his introductory engineering classes. Biomedical engineering sparked his interest after he saw a TV special about injured war veterans seeking better prosthetics and other medical devices, his father said. He strongly considered pursuing graduate school in the field and becoming a researcher.

Although Buelvas, who was 18-years-old, did not have a strong passion for writing, he particularly

In its first Major League Soccer SuperDraft, expansion club Montreal Impact selected Andrew Wenger with its top overall pick Thursday afternoon.

Wenger is the first Blue Devil ever taken with the No. 1 pick, and the 18th Duke player taken since MLS held its first collegiate draft in 1997.

The highest ranking military officer in the United States spoke Thursday about a revised military strategy in light of recent cuts in the military budget.

Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, discussed a new strategic vision that aims to generate a leaner but nonetheless effective military in the face of growing fiscal concerns and resource scarcity. Dempsey, who earned a master’s degree in English from Duke in 1984, spoke in Page Auditorium as part of the Ambassador S. Davis Phillips Family International Lecture series.

“It makes no sense for us as a nation to have an extraordinarily capable military power if we are economically disadvantaged around the world,” Dempsey said. “We are only as strong as the three pillars—diplomatic, information and economic—[which] interrelate with each other to achieve a common outcome. If one of those pillars is weakened, they’re all weakened.”

Dempsey defined grand strategy as the integration

Defense Department sets cyber defense challenges

A Pentagon pilot program that uses classified National Security Agency data to protect the computer networks of defense contractors has had some success but also has failed to meet some expectations, according to a study commissioned by the Defense Department.

The program showed that Internet carriers could be trusted to handle the NSA data, that direct government monitoring of private networks could be avoided and that the measures could be of particular benefit to companies with less mature cyber defense capabilities, according to the Carnegie Mellon University study.

Although researchers said the pilot had demonstrated the concept of information sharing, they also cited deficiencies in the way it was implemented. The test program, which began last May, relied on NSA “signatures” or fingerprints of malicious computer code that in initial stages were “stale when deployed.”

Duke senior Mackebee Council to evaluate competes on ‘Jeopardy!’ Areas of Knowledge ARTS AND SCIENCES COUNCIL

by Andrew Luo THE CHRONICLE

Senior bucket list for $500.

Greer Mackebee recently starred on “Jeopardy!” as part of the popular quiz show’s College Championships. The senior, a civil and environmental engineering major from Tennessee, was one of 15 players selected from a pool of 12,000 students to compete in the show. From Jan. 5 through Jan. 6, Mackebee traveled to Sony Pictures Studios in California for filming.

The tournament will air Feb. 1 through Feb. 14, and the winner will receive the

grand prize of $100,000.

“I was in the library getting ready for a class presentation when I received a phone call [from ‘Jeopardy!’],” Mackebee said. “It was a dream come true.”

The filming experience was exciting, and the environment was completely different from answering “Jeopardy!” questions from the comfort of his living room, Mackebee said. He added that the buzzer, along with the nerves, increased the intensity of the show.

The Arts and Sciences Council voted to conduct its first evaluation of the Areas of Knowledge requirements at its meeting Thursday.

This evaluation represents the first formal review since the requirements were instated for the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences in Curriculum 2000 and again adapted in 2004. The logistics concerning who will conduct the review and what data will be collected will be determined by the council’s executive committee, committee chairs and other relevant stakeholders, said Council Chair Ruth Day, associate professor of psychology.

Day added that in the past, administrators have not taken into account what students think they should get out of required courses, which poses an issue for the current Areas of Knowledge model.

“In general, colleges tend to be weakest in the structuring of the general education requirements,” Dean of Arts and Sciences Laurie Patton said. “Assessment, in the past, has been understood to be a ‘make-work’ problem.”

Ingeborg Walther, associate dean of Trinity College and director of the Office of Curriculum and Course Development, noted that the council must be mindful of the student perspective, including how students regard the requirements. As the system currently stands, students are not actively considering how certain Areas of Knowledge courses fit into their entire ac-

ademic experience at Duke, she added.

“The mere form of the matrix is creating a situation where students choose courses purely based on what codes the courses are associated with,” Walther said.

Senior Kaveh Danesh, Duke Student Government vice president for academic affairs, said that the evaluation should address students’ concern of the unequal distribution of codes across disciplines.

Dubois assesses Haiti’s recovery, calls for government reform

Army brigades to leave Europe

by Vignesh Krishnaswamy

by Greg Jaffe

THE CHRONICLE

THE WASHINGTON POST

Two years after an earthquake dramatically changed the landscape of Haiti, the country needs to see more progress in terms of relief efforts, a leading author said Thursday.

Laurent Dubois, professor of French studies and history and director of the Center for French and Francophone studies, presented his book “Haiti: The Aftershocks of Discovery,” and highlighted the complex of the island nation and the primary obstacles to a full recovery from the earthquake.

Dubois said he wrote the book to allow people to gain a better understanding of Haiti. He has traveled to Haiti often and has studied the country for more than two decades.

“This book thinks about Haiti’s future through the lens of the past,” he said. “I had thought of the title the day of the earthquake itself.”

In his presentation, Dubois noted that combined problems of the Haitian state and the coordination and fragmentation of international efforts impede recovery efforts. Many individuals have misconceptions about Haiti being an underdeveloped country, and the failures of the government are often viewed as reflections of the Haitian people.

“Nineteenth century Haiti was quite successful, which goes against the grain of what we think of the country,” Dubois said. “There were definite successes in Haiti that have not been talked about.”

For Haiti to recover, belief in the nation and optimism for growth must exist, and people outside the county must believe strongly in Haiti’s ability to rebuild, Dubois noted.

“People can’t see the progress, and so the challenge is balancing and understanding that recovery is difficult

FORT BLISS, Texas — The Obama administration has decided to remove two of the four U.S. Army brigades remaining in Europe as part of a broader cost-saving effort to cut $487 billion from the Pentagon’s budget over the next decade, said senior U.S. officials.

The reductions in U.S. Army forces, which have not been formally announced, are likely to concern European officials, who worry that the smaller American presence reflects a lessening of interest in the decades-long U.S. partnership with NATO allies in Europe.

Top Pentagon officials have sought to allay those concerns by telling their NATO allies in private meetings that the U.S. will continue to rotate Army units through Europe on training missions to augment the presence provided by the remaining two brigades.

“In the briefing we’ve been giving the Europeans, we have made clear that there is going to be this rotational presence there that will be conducting exercises,” Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in an interview.

“As a matter of fact, they will probably see more of the Americans under the new strategy because the brigades that were there were actually fighting in Afghanistan and weren’t even there.... What you are going to have is two [brigades] plus this large rotational presence that is going to be there.”

The reductions are part of a Pentagon plan to shrink the Army to about 490,000 troops from its current size of 560,000 soldiers, said defense officials. The cuts are being driven by a new defense strategy that calls for smaller, faster and more agile forces and a shift in focus towards the Pacific region, where China has been investing in new submarines, fighter jets and precision-guided missiles.

Senior Obama administration officials have targeted Europe for cuts because they recognize that reductions in

Can gender and sexuality be perceived and lived differently? Many artists and writers have explored this question by experimenting with three of the major movements of twentieth-century art—Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism—all of which played with images, language, bodies, and forms to revolutionize gender and sexuality. This first-year seminar will introduce students to the art and literature of these movements through the lens feminism provides. Students don’t need a background in or even a familiarity with avantgarde art and literature, only an openness to and interest in art that is gorgeously strange!

Spring 2012 PUBPOL 150S.01 Global Democratization TTH 2:50-4:05, Mickiewicz Global expansion of democracy and how this trend is studied, analyzed, ranked and rated, with particular attention to organizations that employ methods of ranking and disseminate the results. Includes discussing the policy uses and consequences of these methods, the context and history of democratization and exploring current examples of democratic transition.

PUBPOL 188.01 Whose Democracy? Participation and Public Policy in the U.S. MW 2:50-4:05, Goss We invite you to enroll in a new service-learning seminar, “Whose Democracy?” which surveys the shifting nature of political and civic engagement in America; the impact of engagement on our democracy; and the ways that public policy encourages or stifles citizens’ voices. The course has been taught once before, to great reviews. This year, the course will revolve around the policy theme of immigration and multiculturalism. Besides studying theories and cases of interest groups, social movements, and other forms of participation, students will work in teams on consulting projects for Durham-area nonprofits working with immigrant and refugee communities.

PUBPOL 195.01 Contemporary International Policy Issues MW 10:05-11:20, Johnson This course surveys a number of issues that display different forms and different policy responses in various geographical regions and cultures.

Examples include: use of natural resources, design of international organizations, patterns of human migration, privatization of security, and the spread of pandemics. The course is interdisciplinary and thematic, with particular attention to political, economic, and social patterns that help to explain conflict and cooperation in international policy. The goal is to introduce international policy issues that remain to be solved in the future, while understanding how present-day relationships and policies are shaped by the past.

PUPBPOL 195S.03 Into the Heart of Durham: Community Development Paths to Transformation TTH 11:40-12:55, Daniel This course seeks wisdom and understanding of the field of community development and different approaches to community needs and aspirations while deeply exploring public policy issues, developments in the vibrant/unique context of the Bull City. As a service learning course, it will engage head, hand, and heart in theories of community development and vocation. We will also engage the role that faith plays in the character of individuals and communities as they seek to imagine and create a better future or in the context of Durham’s motto, make their city a place where “great things happen.”

PUBPOL 195S.04 Aging and Population TTH 1:15-2:30, Kim This course covers policy issues of modern aging societies, with special emphases on families and comparisons between Western countries and Asian countries. To tackle the complex issues, we discuss both relevant theories and empirical evidence from various disciplines including sociology, economics, public health, and human biology. The first module introduces demography, investigating the underlying causes of population aging and presenting trends in population age distributions around the globe. In the second module, we review public old-age support programs in the East and West and discuss their challenges. The module also describes policy options to mitigate the consequences of population aging, and assesses the effectiveness of the policies from the comparative perspective. The third module examines why families provide elder support, how the support differs across societies and cultures, and how public and private old-age provisions are interrelated.

“Once you’re on stage, you’re pretty much singularly focused on the game and trying to be in the zone as much as possible,” he said. “One of the weird things about being on the show is that you don’t remember the questions you were asked— it just went by so quickly.”

As for his interest in trivia, Mackebee said he has watched the game show ever since he was a toddler and decided to audition for a spot by taking an online test in 2010.

“Watching ‘Jeopardy!’ definitely sparked my interest, but I have always been into trivia,” Mackebee said. “Aside from my oncampus activities, I enjoy reading newspapers and online articles—it’s always been my thing.”

ARMY from page 5 U.S. forces abroad will generate less congressional outcry than in the United States, where the soldiers pump money into local economies.

The U.S. military currently maintains about 80,000 troops in Europe from all of the services. Cutting two Army brigades and the noncombat units that support them will result in a reduction of about 10,000-15,000 soldiers.

Panetta’s idea of augmenting American presence around the world by rotating combat brigades or smaller Army units through areas on training exercises is a relatively new concept for the regular Army, which has historically maintained a more

Mackebee said he was pleasantly surprised by the laid-back personalities of the other “Jeopardy!” contestants.

“There were students from all over the country, from MIT to Stanford,” he said. “We were all experiencing the same nervousness, which helped us get along very well.”

For his peers, Mackebee’s acceptance onto Jeopardy! did not come as a surprise.

During the last decade, the Army’s combat brigades have rotated with little rest to Iraq and Afghanistan on 12- to 15-month tours.

“If we can develop these innovative rotational presences elsewhere, we will be in a position to basically cover not only the areas where we are keeping a key focus—the Pacific and the Middle East—but we will be covering the world,” Panetta said.

He said the Pentagon envisions sending Army units to areas like Latin America and Africa on training exercises as the Obama administration continues to cut the size of the American force in Afghanistan. Such missions have been conducted typically by Army Special Forces units and the Marine Corps.

DEMPSEY from page 1 of the instruments of national power to achieve particular outcomes. The new strategy, which President Barack Obama announced earlier this month, decreases the size of the military and focuses its power more on Asia and less on the Middle East for the remainder of this decade.

Dempsey, however, rejected the idea that the military was a victim of the cuts.

“We the military are not being victimized by this budget issue,” he said. “We clearly have a role to play, all of us as citizens, in helping the nation address its economic crisis.”

Dempsey added that he could not recollect a time previously in his military experience in which cost was a major factor in developing military strategy—at least not until now.

“We understand that for the nation to overcome its debt crisis and some of its other economic challenges, we’ve got to get a hold of cost as an independent variable,” he said. “Strategy is about context and choice— choices have consequences, and consequences produce new context.”

Dempsey spoke with good humor and several times recalled his student days at Duke, including a nod to a favorite bar stool at Shooters II. He also credited his English studies with building his confidence, pushing him to seek new ideas and improving his ability to communicate persuasively. When Dempsey arrived at Duke in 1982, men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski was unpopular on campus, Dempsey said, connecting this anecdote to the broader point that good strategies may take time to succeed.

“We know there’s going to be mistakes—we know there will be missteps,” he said. “Ultimately, we continue to grow and develop mostly through adversity.”

In a live online office hours session earlier Thursday, Peter Feaver, professor of political science and director of Duke’s Program in American Grand Strategy, noted that developing a new strategy is often accompanied by risk.

“What I think is most interesting is what President Obama did not say and that is that there are serious risks involved with this new strategy,” Feaver said. “You can’t reduce the money going to defense without incurring

FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 2012 | 7

some risks.”

Feaver, a former member of the White House’s National Security Council, added that the current administration views the growing deficit as a national security problem.

“One of the things that’s clear from the Obama announcement is that the administration views our fiscal situation as itself a threat to our national security,” he said.

“The large deficits that the U.S. budget is running and the large amount of debt that we’re accumulating will at some point affect the American power.”

Srinivas Katikithala, a master’s of international development policy degree program fellow at the Sanford School of Public Policy, commended the military’s efforts to function with less funding.

“It is always very simple and easy to say that we don’t have enough, but to say that we have this and we will do the best with it is a very fresh way of looking at it,” Katikithala said.

A&S from page 3 the current system would differ from the review of the Quantitative Sciences requirement, which solely concerns the QS requirement. Day added that the QS proposal could serve as an initial step to evaluating the Areas of Knowledge requirements in their entirety.

“It [would be] a fact-finding mission to determine student course-taking patterns, course code assignments and related trends,” Day said.

She noted that if results suggest that problems do not exist, additional actions would not be taken and the review would end.

In other business: Patton discussed the results of a faculty poll on budget solutions, stressing the importance of not reducing funding for undergraduate student research. “[The responses] were incredibly helpful as we look forward and will help administrators respond quickly to faculty’s concerns,” Patton said.

Administrators have been able to avoid cutting student funds by providing resources through the arts and sciences budget when funds from the Duke Endowment end and by drawing on external support from Howard Hughes and Mellon Mays grants, she said.

“I don’t know of any other university where faculty and administration have worked so closely together and especially during the budget crunch,” Day said. “In response to the economic crisis, Duke took a step in the other direction by giving faculty the leadership and ability to act upon what they believe in.”

The poll gathered responses from 54 percent of the Trinity faculty.

BUELVAS from page 1 embraced his Writing 20 class that focused on primate communication, his father noted.

“Raul struck me immediately as someone who was hardworking and determined to succeed,” his instructor, Lindsey Smith, a lecturing fellow in the Thompson Writing Program, wrote in an email Thursday. “I admire him so much for his approach to life and his positive outlook.”

Buelvas was first diagnosed with osteosarcoma—a form of bone cancer—two weeks before his 13th birthday in 2006, his father said. The cancer had spread by the time he was diagnosed, but long periods of hospital treatment and chemotherapy did not deter him.

“After his first knee replacement, he went out and played for his high school tennis team,” Buelvas’ father recalled. “After his second knee replacement, he thought tennis might be difficult, so he took up rock climbing and joined a rock climbing club near Houston, where he was

getting treatment.”

Although he missed 10 to 20 percent of his classes throughout high school, Buelvas remained dedicated to his schoolwork and would often complete his assignments in a hospital bed.

“Despite everything he was dealing with, Raul was such a hard worker, and he was diligent about keeping up with his assignments,” Smith said. “That kind of perseverance is remarkable in someone who had so many weightier things to tackle in his life other than schoolwork.”

The long periods spent in the hospital drove Buelvas to create the foundation Teens Helping Others by Providing Entertainment, which raised thousands of dollars to purchase Playstation 3’s and laptops and dedicate a room for teenagers in long-term care at the pediatric hospital at Memorial Medical Center in his hometown of Savannah, Ga., his father said. At one point, almost immediately after his IV was disconnected following a session of chemotherapy, Buelvas went around other parts of the hospital to meet other teenagers as part of his organization’s efforts.

Buelvas also had a strong support network among his friends and community because his positive outlook and warmth allowed him relate to anyone, said close friend Ben Adler, a freshman at the University of Michigan, who spoke at the funeral service Dec. 27. Many of Buelvas’ friends showed their support by shaving their heads as a part of a fundraiser for Teens HOPE. “He always had my back—it’s easy to think about him and smile,” Adler said. “Cancer never defines him. He used to think of other people more than himself.”

Although Buelvas—a member of Campus Crusade for Christ—went to chemotherapy sessions during his time at Duke, he did not readily share his battle with cancer with individuals he came to know on campus, his father noted.

Sophomore Christian Kerr, who leads a Bible study group Buelvas joined earlier in the Fall, said he did not know that he was fighting cancer until his grandfather came to move personal items from his campus residence.

Kerr later spoke to Buelvas in December on the phone and through text message.

“Raul told me about his illness only when his treatment interfered with being in class one week,” Smith added. “He could certainly have used cancer as a reason for giving up, but his outlook was so mature, and it was clear that he wanted to be treated like any other college student, not a cancer patient.”

Freshman William Shelburne said he will carry a rose during a moment of silence to commemorate Buelvas’ life at Duke Chapel services Sunday.

“We went to one of the orientation week events together —that’s when I first met him,” said Shelburne, who is a fellow Pratt student. “The way that he cared about people and his family—that really stuck out to me.”

DUBOIS from page 5 without falling into the discourse of perpetual failure,” he said.

As for the future of Haiti, Dubois said he is realistic about the potential for political reform but hopeful that the country can one day return to the state it was in before the earthquake.

“We can look at a 10-year reconstruction,” he said.

“Much of the recovery will have to do with the political situation.”

Dubois added that major recovery can stem from rural agriculture reform, a return to agricultural successes of the past and reconstruction of major buildings like the National Palace and universities.

“Universities were really destroyed in the earthquake, but they have built temporary structures to replace them,” Dubois said. “This passion for education is crucial for Haiti to recover.”

Tom Campbell—owner of the Regulator Bookshop, which hosted the event—said he was impressed by Dubois’ presentation.

“He is a wonderful guy and thinker who has immersed himself in the history and culture of Haiti like no other,” Campbell said.

Many Americans are unfamiliar with the history of U.S. involvement in Haiti including the occupation of the country from 1915 to 1934, Dubois said in an interview preceding his presentation. He noted that the United States should change its policies toward Haiti in order to aid the recovery process.

“The United States should liberalize its immigration policy for Haiti,” he said, adding that rules of foreign aid currently make the Haitian recovery process difficult.

Reginald Patterson, a graduate student in romance studies, said he was surprised by the diverse interest in Haiti. Dubois’ audience included professors, Durham residents, students and children.

Patterson said he was interested in understanding how Haiti fits in the Caribbean and why it is so different from its neighbors.

“Haiti is unique in the way it won its independence,” Dubois said. “Haiti wasn’t able to establish the stability that a country like Jamaica because of the unique story behind the Haitian revolution.”

“We are trying to get more consistent with our rebounding effort,” McCallie said. “We need to be more attacking in our presses, more aggressive. There are a variety of things we have been trying to work on.”

The Seminoles, like the Blue Devils, have very diversified scoring. Both teams score over 70 points per game, and each has at least four players averaging over 10 points per contest.

Duke must make its quickest turnaround of the season as it plays Virginia Tech on the road Sunday afternoon. Despite the short break, McCallie looks forward to the opportunity to preview postseason play.

“It’s all part of it,” McCallie said. “In the ACC tournament you’ve got to play three days in a row so it’s important to know that not everything is going to be perfect but to still be able to play your game.”

Monet Tellier leads the Hokies, averaging 13.5 points per game, followed by Aerial Wilson, who averages 10.4. Despite the fact that the Hokies are expected to finish near the bottom of the conference standings, McCallie recognizes her team must stay focused on the road to avoid an upset.

“I think every team in the ACC is very good,” McCallie said. “All these teams want to play their best game against Duke so we always have to be ready.”

THE CHRONICLE

PLUMLEE from page 9 the basket—I know he missed free throws— but he was such a key guy for us.”

After finishing the first half with a fourpoint deficit and Mason notching just three points and two rebounds, Duke emerged from the locker room with a clear game plan—feed the post.

On their first possession, Mason bullied his defender, the 7-foot Assane Sene, for a bucket in the paint. This was after Sene, a pedestrian defender despite his size, limited the Blue Devils to 10 points in the paint in the first half.

Between Mason, Ryan Kelly and Miles Plumlee, the Blue Devils continually kept the ball in the paint, eventually drawing double teams and opening up the perimeter game that had been nonexistent. Going 4-of-5 from the field with five rebounds in the second half, Mason created opportunities for himself and his teammates.

“When we’re hitting the ball inside, our whole offense is more aggressive,” Miles said. “Especially their defense, with the way they pack it in, if we can get it inside, Mason is a great passer.”

Complementing Mason’s offensive performance in the second half was his superb effort on the defensive end, shutting down Scott, who had torched Duke in the first half, finishing that period with 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Krzyzewski told Mason and Miles Plumlee in the locker room that containing Scott—who Krzyzewski heaped with praise after the game, calling him one of the best players in the country—was a matter of being more physical.

“We just needed to play him straight up,” Miles said. “We can play defense, I know myself and Mason, we wanted to get

after him and play him one-on-one.”

Scott ended with 23 points after failing to generate any sort of offensive rhythm in the second half, going 3-of-9 from the field in the final period of play.

Mason stuffed Scott under the hoop with 7:51 remaining in the second half, after which Scott did not register another field goal.

The physical play clearly took its toll on Scott as the game wore on. Getting pushed around on both ends and needing to be examined by trainers briefly in the second half after being hit in the face, Scott looked beaten in the game’s final minute. With the Cavaliers down by three on their final possession, the 6-foot8 forward bricked a three from the corner, nailing the side of the backboard.

That was not the Scott of the first half, who was nailing jump shots with ease as Duke failed to physically contest him.

The credit belongs to both Plumlee brothers, both of whom spent time guarding him. Miles’ success did not translate to the stat sheet, but he and his brother were a relentless duo on both ends of the floor. The pair were on the court together for about four-and-ahalf minutes in the second half, during which the Blue Devils saw their lead rise by six.

“The Plumlees I thought were the keys to the game [with] their physicality,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought we played better defense on Scott and that was both Mason and Miles.”

Mason’s presence on both ends of the floor is what turned this game around for Duke.

Hopefully for the Blue Devils, with Mason’s extra time practicing at the foul line, his impact will put games out of reach, instead of just barely putting them over the top.

and wasted no time in passing the ball to star forward Mike Scott, who drained a baseline jumper to give his team its initial points. This possession would repeat itself throughout the first half, as the Virginia game plan seemed one-dimensional—pass the ball to Scott, who used his abilities as a long-range forward to sink 16-18 foot jumpers. “[Scott is] playing as good as anybody in the country,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Basically, he was responsible for 60 percent of their offense in the first half. When a kid… does that in this type of game, he is a hell of a player.”

In the first period, Scott hit 7-of-10 field goals for 16 points. As Krzyzewski pointed out, Scott’s dominance during the first half extended beyond his prolific scoring, as his mere presence was instrumental to a handful of other successful Cavalier possessions, even if he was not the one scoring.

During this first half, Duke relied mainly on the play of its guards to remain competitive, as its post players could not find openings against Scott and 7-foot center Assane Sene. Although these guards started the night cold—going 0-of-8 from 3-point range to begin the game—they produced field goals before the game got out of hand.

More specifically, a pair of unanswered, back-to-back 3-pointers by Ryan Kelly and Andre Dawkins with three minutes remaining in the first half tied the game at 21.

A late run by the Cavaliers, however, capped off with a 3-pointer by Scott with eight seconds remaining in the half, kept Duke in a four-point hole going into the locker room. The Blue Devils knew that they would need to rethink their strategy if they wanted to come away with the win.

Their first priority—neutralize Scott.

“We wanted to get Scott tired,” freshman guard Austin Rivers said. “In the first half, he was just getting wide open looks, and on defense, he did not have to guard anybody. So, at halftime, we really wanted to get Scott to have to play on both ends.

On defense, we wanted Mason and Miles to be physical with him.”

Although Scott began the second half with that same baseline jumper, it would prove to be one of his few field goals during the remainder of the game. After such an impressive first half performance, he went 3-of-9 during the second period.

On the other end of the court, Mason Plumlee began to assert himself offensively.

Taking advantage of his matchup against Sene, Mason sparked Duke’s comeback by registering nine points and five rebounds in the second half.

Slowly, the Blue Devils outplayed Virginia and watched their lead grow to nine with 9:34 remaining in the game. They never seemed to capture any significant late-game rhythm, as the pesky Cavaliers always managed to keep themselves within reach.

Finally, with only 4:04 left and Duke leading by eight, Virginia made its last run in an attempt to salvage a victory. It capitalized on a handful of scrappy offensive possessions to cut the lead down to three points with less than one minute to go. After Seth Curry missed a long-range jumper, the Cavaliers had 13 seconds to tie the game.

They went to their original game plan— feed the ball to Scott. But his shot was far wide, hitting the side of the backboard before falling into the hands of Cavalier guard Jontel Evans for another open look.

Evans’ shot, however, only missed by inches, giving the Blue Devils their second conference win and extending their win streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium to 44 games.

Andrew Wenger was selected by the Montreal Impact with the first pick in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft.

WENGER from page 1 junior won the ACC defensive player of the year award as a center back in his first two seasons at Duke.

Wenger announced he would forgo his final year of college eligibility Dec. 21, when he signed a contract with Generation adidas.

“I think he’ll have a fabulous career,” Duke head coach John Kerr said. “He’s one of those unique talented individuals that can adjust to any setting that he’s put in.”

Wenger may face an adjustment from the start of his professional career as the Impact try to determine on which end of the field he should play. The 6-foot, 185-pound Lilitz, Pa. native will spend the next few weeks training as a defender with the United States U23 national team, but he may be forced to switch positions when MLS training camp begins. “[A Montreal coach] did share with

me that he liked [Wenger] a lot at forward, but he’s going to evaluate the rest of his staff and see how the players mold together,” Kerr said. “He knows Andrew is capable of playing any position on the field except for maybe goalkeeper, so that’s a nice problem to have if you’re a coach.”

Montreal kept its decision close to the vest until selection time, only notifying Wenger that he would become the club’s first pick two minutes before the official announcement was made.

“I think he was the best soccer player available,” Montreal coach Jesse Marsch told ESPN.com. “We followed him very closely, and we just felt he had the best future, short term and long term, in the draft.”

Montreal will play at Vancouver March 10 in its first MLS game.

Despite some projections that Blue Devil Christopher Tweed-Kent would be picked in the second round, the senior went undrafted. Tweed-Kent led Duke in assists this season with 12, and also added six goals.

This is no surprise: College is not the only place to get the skills to make a living, and, with tuition increases persistently exceeding the rate of inflation, it might make more financial sense for some to get vocational training in lieu of a shiny liberal arts degree.

Indeed, with the federal government originating more than $100 billion in education loans every year, alternative postsecondary pathways stand to gain ground.

What is missing from these alternative pathways, of course, is the civic education that is supposed to stop the deterioration of our public sphere. Colleges might be doing a poor job of cultivating the public-mindedness, tolerance and self-sacrifice crucial to a liberal democracy full of

diverse people trying to solve hard common problems. But, if our public sphere is damaged, pinning our hopes to tertiary education will not save it. There are many legitimate educational paths— trade schools and apprenticeships, not to mention primary and secondary schools—that will need to prepare those who walk them for civic life if we are to make it out of the crucible.

How to create a curriculum that generates genuine civic intelligence and not just empty knowledge of American government, and spread this education across the board is an open question.

But, in the meantime, we cannot forget that civic virtue does not belong—especially—to the college educated.

record. What matters is that both Obama’s defenders and detractors rushed to acknowledge an obvious fact—that there are all sorts of people and all sorts of careers in this country and that an expensive college education does not make sense for all of them.

Two recent studies by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce confirmed what we already know. Sure enough, even unemployable architecture majors—the least employed of all bachelor’s degree holders—have an unemployment rate nearly half that of recent high school graduates. But nearly 15 percent of workers with only a high school degree have salaries above the median salary of bachelor’s degree holders.

Separate and unequal

Sleep or die

here’s an old joke that, when finding someone to date, you can pick two of the following: attractive, intelligent or emotionally stable.

Although this may not describe everyone within the dating pool, the joke has been around long enough to spawn a few spin-offs. One variation says that in college you can get good grades, have a social life or sleep. Again, you can only choose scott dobbie two. Naturally, the the variable overachievers at Duke invariably start out trying to do all three. For some people, that might work. Most of us, however, will eventually begin to neglect at least one of these, and if the “work hard, play hard” mantra is anything to go by, the first of these to go will usually be sleep.

I’m sure you’ve heard this before. Mom always tells you to get plenty of sleep. Although this probably isn’t the first time you’ve ignored Mom’s nagging, this is one piece of advice you should take to heart. Even getting six hours of sleep a night—usually considered pretty good by college standards— for a few weeks can cause brain function to decrease by the same amount as a few days of total sleep deprivation.

Unfortunately, getting enough sleep is not as simple as it sounds. That is, if you consider getting all of your studying done by midnight so you can get up for your 8:30 a.m. class simple. Sleep quantity is just one of the factors at play here, joined by both sleep quality and sleep regularity. Obviously, good sleep quality is sometimes difficult to get in a college dorm. However, sleep regularity, which you have more control over, is often completely overlooked. Despite what you might think, going to bed and getting up at a consistent time each day might be even better than sleeping in on days without early classes. If your wake-up times vary by more than an hour or so from day to day, you might as well throw your circadian rhythm out the window.

Similar to jet lag, you become more irritable and cannot concentrate as well as you might need to.

I know what you’re thinking: “You expect me to get more than six hours of sleep a night, find a way to make my roommate turn off his laptop while I’m trying to sleep and get up at the same time as my early classes even when I don’t have those classes?

And you think I’ll still have time to get all of my work done? And still have time to socialize? You are insane. I’m going to drink this Red Bull, go to a party and stay up until 5 a.m. doing homework.

I can catch up on sleep during the weekend.” If you can truly party constantly and succeed in the classroom without feeling utterly fatigued, then congratulations. You’ve achieved the trifecta and are free to go.

Most of you, however, are lying to yourselves if you think you’ve achieved this state of perfection.

I’m right there with you. Do you ever find yourself so exhausted that you cannot will yourself to get out from under the covers? You probably reason that you can skip your first class, and just go to the later ones. Just for today, because you’re so tired.

Or maybe you’re just skipping that class this week; you’ll catch up after a weekend to recharge. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, class attendance is frequently the variable that best predicts academic success. Obviously, you can’t benefit from class attendance if you’re too tired to get up for class.

That’s the catch. Out of the three options (good grades, a social life and sleep) mentioned earlier, you can’t pick just good grades and an active social life and completely ignore the need for sleep. You will be too tired to get those grades or do other work. You will be too tired to live that social life or hang out with friends. And you will die.

In reality, sleep is the foundation on which your grades and your social life depend. Feel free to work hard and play hard, as long as you also sleep hard.

Just don’t forget to wake up.
