With a newly re-established discount program, students have more incentive to venture off campus to explore Durham and its vibrant food culture in particular. The Duke-Durham Discount Program, revived in January after a more than a year of dormancy, gives students and faculty between a 5 and 20 percent discount at participating restaurants and other vendors. Users present their DukeCards in order to redeem the discounts at the 15 local vendors participating in the program, which include Ben and Jerry’s, Cosmic Cantina, Chopped Greens, FedEx/ Kinko’s, Local Yogurt and Nosh. Freshman Derek Rhodes, Duke Student Government senator for Durham and regional affairs, was instrumental in re-establishing the program and said he is working to expand the program and adding more restaurants to encourage students to interact and support the Durham community. “Increasing Duke student visibility in Durham shows that we are invested in taking advantage of all that Durham has to offer,” Rhodes said. “The discount program works hand-in-hand with Durham’s food culture.” First established in 2005, the Duke-Durham Discount Program originally included more than 20 vendors and offered a 5 to 20
An eye care visionary has set his sights on establishing the first national center for sports vision. Although sports-related eye injuries can have a significant impact on an athlete’s career, the Duke Sports Vision Center for Excellence is the only organization in the country equipped to care for athletes from diagnosis to rehabilitation, said Dr. Terry Kim, director of ophthalmology fellowship programs and associate director of cornea and refractive surgery services. The center is currently housed throughout the Duke Eye Center, but Kim said he hopes to unite these services in one building and to expand vision care to military service members with acute eye damage. “For athletes in any sport, it is usually hard to find an eye specialist that focuses on trauma from sports,” Kim said. “What we want to do with our center is provide a one-stop place where you can provide treatment—not only surgery and medical treatment, but also vision rehabilitation— for specific injuries.” Kim, Medicine ’92, hopes to one day combine clinical care, specialized treatments and management under one roof. One location can help streamline treatment, so athletes and

Duke beats UNC in Double Dare

Duke one game from Final Four
The Blue Devils met the Tar Heels in a slimy battle Saturday evening. Duke beat the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a lead of about 300 points in Double Dare, a revival of the popular game show that originally aired on Nickelodeon from 1986 to 1993. The competition—featuring original Double Dare host Marc Summers—included various physical challenges, trivia and an obstacle course, which often resulted in sliming the contestants. The Duke vs. UNC Double Dare, which drew several hundred audience members to the Intramural Building, marked the first time the game show has been recreated for a competition between universities, said sophomore Shane Stone, programming chair of the innovations committee of Duke University Union. “It was one of those things you dream about as a little kid watching Nickelodeon, except that it actually happened,” said senior Betsy Klein, a member of the Duke team.

FRESNO, Calif. — No. 2 seeded Duke will play in its third consecutive NCAA Regional Final tonight, in search of an upset over Stanford to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2006 and in McCallie’s tenure as head coach. Duke (27-5) is fresh off a dominant 74-47 victory over St. John’s in the Sweet 16 and hopes to ride the momentum to a victory over the Cardinal (34-1) at Save Mart Center, though ultimately the team prides itself in is its development over the course of the year. “It’s important to grow through the season as much as possible, SEE W.

These candidates were selected from a pool of 100 students who each submitted a video, Stone said. The innovations committee then narrowed down the contestants to 12 candidates who ran a Facebook campaign for two weeks. The contestants were chosen based on the number of people who liked their Facebook pages. Stone declined to comment on the exact cost of the event but noted that both UNC and Duke contributed funds. Moskowitz noted that the UNC Carolina Union Activities Board’s fun committee, the group in charge of collaborating with DUU, did not publicize the event to the extent that DUU did, giving Duke’s team the edge. He added that approximately 10 students from UNC attended, compared to Duke’s large crowd of about 300. “[In following years,] UNC should make it more of a competition on their end, so it’s more fun for everyone,” SEE DARE ON PAGE 3

Role of women in politics quickly gaining strength
WASHINGTON, D.C. — At a moment when gender politics is thick in the air, it is a good time to reconsider another spring, exactly 20 years ago, when an unprecedented wave of women set their sights on Washington. That was the election that was supposed to change everything. But it did not—not on the scale once expected. Nor did a series of “firsts” since then: a woman as speaker of the U.S. House, another on the Republican presidential ticket, still another winning nearly 18 million votes for president. In fact, a growing body of evidence suggests that these path-blazing women have proved to be cautionary examples—not role models—for others who might consider running for office. Overall, the number of women elected, while rising through much of the 1990s, has hit a plateau. This is why many interest groups want to elect more women.

Institute produces study in response to Potti scandal The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies published a report on research integrity and procedure Friday that was partly in response to the scandal surrounding former Duke oncologist Dr. Anil Potti. The report addresses problems with the application of genomics and other molecular bioscience research in clinical trials. Titled “Evolution of Translational Omics: Lessons Learned and the Path Forward,� it notes that the lack of a defined review process allows flawed research to pass unnoticed and potentially enter the clinical phase. The report provides recommendations for new practices that can evaluate and verify the data and computational research supporting proposed clinical treatments. At a meeting in October 2010, the IOM decided to investigate translational research procedures as well as specific clinical trials based on Potti’s work. The IOM pursued this examination at the request of the National Cancer Institute, which originally intervened in the Potti research in summer 2010. Although the Duke case is alluded to, Potti is not named explicitly in this report. Duke is currently investigating Potti for alleged research misconduct. Translating molecular bioscience research into reliable, usable data has proven challenging, the report states. The research often involves complex computational procedures and without access to the computer code and systems, outsiders are unable to assess and review the data. These issues came to life following “premature use� of data from genomics-based clinical trials. In his research, Potti used genomics-
based tests to predict individualized cancer treatments. The University suspended Potti’s clinical trials summer 2010 in response to questions regarding the underlying research. Potti resigned from Duke in November 2010, taking sole responsibility for inconsistencies in his data. Potti and his co-authors have since retracted 10 papers based on his research. There are currently two lawsuits pending against Potti, Duke and others related to clinical trials conducted based on Potti’s genomic research. “For three years, the Duke investigators rebuffed external criticisms about publications describing their tests. But in July 2010, more than 30 outside scientists raised concerns about the validity of the tests,� the report states. The report suggests that computational procedures used to manage large data sets should be confirmed and made public or patented. Processes that are candidates for clinical trials should also be defined by explicit measurements, a breakdown of computational procedures and intended clinical use. Additionally, all test validation should take place in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act-certified laboratory, and researchers should consult with the Food and Drug Administration before moving on to clinical trials. The report was sponsored by numerous national institutions, including the American Society for Clinical Pathology, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, College of American Pathologists and Department of Veterans Affairs. —from Staff Reports
DARE from page 1 Moskowitz said. Stone said he was pleased with the outcome of the event, but he was slightly disappointed with the turnout—given that 500 tickets were distributed prior to the event. “If we are able to recreate [the competition], I want to make a larger effort to publicize the event at both schools and make sure that the people who planned to attend actually do show up,� Stone said. Recreating a Nickelodeon event for the University had been on the agenda for two years, Stone said. Stone added
that planning the Double Dare competition was the first order of business on his list when he joined the innovations committee. The innovations committee was created in Fall 2010 as an offshoot of DUU’s special projects committee, he added. Summers had been reluctant to join hands with DUU because other universities had attempted and failed to create a successful Double Dare event, Stone noted. After about a year of exchanging emails, Summers finally agreed to host the competition between Duke and UNC. Stone said he hopes to make the event an annual affair, eventually turning it into a nationwide college tour.

DISCOUNT from page 1 percent discount for customers who presented their DukeCard. Due to a loss of vendors and decline in student participation, the program was not utilized in 2010-2011. In order to revitalize the program, the DSG Senate approved about $560 for marketing the program Jan. 18. The Office of Durham and Regional Affairs also contributed $500. Phail Wynn, vice president for Durham and regional affairs, could not be reached for comment. Rhodes launched a comprehensive marketing campaign involving websites, Facebook groups, Duke bus advertisements and table tents in the East Union and West Union buildings. Rhodes noted that the best marketing tool has been word of mouth. “I’ve gotten lots of emails from students and faculty members who enjoyed their discounts, and I’m hearing from students [about] which restaurants they want added to the program,� Rhodes added. “It’s helpful for me to gauge what students like.� In response to students’ request, Rhodes said he has reached out to restaurants Chipotle, Dame’s Chicken and Waffles, Mellow Mushroom and Noodles and Company. One student suggested that he try to include the hot dog stand outside of Shooters II. Some restaurants, however, have not been so receptive to requests, Rhodes said. Ninth Street restaurant Bali-Hai opted out, claiming that Duke students are not their target clientele. The local Whole Foods Market chose not to participate because it is part of a larger corporation. “We hope that they might see the benefit of participating, so we aren’t giving up on those places,� Rhodes said. “We reached out to them because we feel like they are a good fit for Duke students. Hopefully, students taking advantage of the current vendors will incentivize the rest to get on board, and that’s why student participation is so important.� Rhodes, a Durham native, said he understands the significance of food culture in the Durham community. With this program, he seeks to connect students to residents through restaurant life. “Everyone loves food in Durham, and the restaurant scene has increased tremendously,� he said. “It’s flourishing and growing with lots of small businesses that are unique to Durham.�

Junior and Durham native Alexandra Swain, DSG vice president for Durham and regional affairs, helped Rhodes reestablish the discount program with the goal of helping Duke students appreciate the individuality of Durham through its food scene. “We have people coming in from different parts of the world to local universities to Durham, and that adds to the foodie vibe,� Swain said. Durham’s diversified and expanded food scene has helped
to improve the community, and the discount program gives students the opportunity to demonstrate the same support, she added. “The dining scene that has made Durham such a livable city has helped it grow,� added Rick Johnson, assistant vice president of student affairs for housing, dining and residence life. “Durham has an interest in innovative food, and Duke students can become a part of the community by experiencing this renowned culture.�

VISION from page 1 military personnel can receive a diagnosis and treatment from sub-specialists without having to travel to multiple centers. Each year, 40,000 sports-related eye injuries occur in the U.S., one third of which happen to children, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Injuries happen most frequently in basketball, baseball, lacrosse and hockey, Kim said. About 90 percent of these injuries can be prevented with protective eyewear. Kim also serves as a consultant ophthalmologist for the Duke men’s basketball team. Kim said former Duke basketball player Jon Scheyer, Trinity ’10, inspired him to look into creating a comprehensive vision center designed for athletes. Inspiration from injury After contributing to Duke’s 2010 NCAA championship win, Scheyer suffered optic nerve damage when another player in the NBA summer league poked him in the eye. The injury led to a significant loss of vision in his right eye.

Over the course of his diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, he saw more than a dozen different doctors in six different states. “[Scheyer] was really the one who inspired me to look at [creating a unified vision center],” Kim said. “He was so strong throughout the whole thing—not only physically but also emotionally.” Scheyer said that although the injury was challenging, it helped him grow and changed the way he approached eye safety. “The past two years—ever since the national championship—[have] been very challenging, but I’ve grown a lot because of what has happened. It’s been a great experience,” he said. “I wear glasses every time I play. I’m very used to them, and I feel like they’re a part of me now.” Creating the center is also about providing athletes with a support group, Kim said. A network can help athletes understand how debilitating eye injuries affect their playing, how others coped with similar setbacks and how to prevent such injuries in the future. Kim said he has high hopes for the center and sees oppor-
tunities for expansion beyond the current virtual center. “We’re just scratching the surface,” Kim said. “Once this gets going, there are a lot of resources we can reach out to—ROTC groups or other military personnel. This can end up being a national center of excellence.” ‘Physical therapy for the eye’ Besides clinical or surgical treatment, the center also offers low-vision rehabilitation—what Kim called “physical therapy for the eye”—for those with injuries or those who want to enhance their vision. The center treats patients with permanent vision loss from injuries, acquired disease or inherited disease, said Dr. Diane Whitaker, chief of low-vision rehabilitation service. “We are focused on helping people maximize whatever remaining vision they have—most people think that if you’re blind, then you’re Helen Keller-blind but that’s not the case—most people have some usable vision,” Whitaker said. In order to help patients maximize their vision capabilities, Whitaker employs different types of widely available technology to aid people in everyday activities. Patients, for instance, can use Apple products with voice-over capabilities even if they cannot see the touch screen well, she said. “Mainstream products are becoming more accessible for people’s vision impairment—even Kindles have magnification options or you can have text read to you,” Whitaker said. There is currently no specific timeline for developing the unified Duke Sports Vision Center for Excellence, but Kim said he hopes to pursue the establishment of a physical center after the Duke University Health System finishes its major construction process for the Duke Medical Pavilion in 2013. Andrew Beaton contributed reporting.

74 DUKE SJU 47 Duke routs Red Storm in regional semifinal by Patricia Lee THE CHRONICLE
FRESNO, Calif. — Despite a sluggish start in its NCAA tournament regional semifinal, No. 2 seeded Duke was dominant in its 74-47 victory against No. 3 seeded St. John’s at Save Mart Center Saturday night. “I’m proud of our team, and I thought it was a great team effort,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “We had a little bit of a slow start, but then we had a nice refocus. Everybody was contributing and playing aggressive defense.” With the win, the Blue Devils advance to face Stanford Monday night at Save Mart Center with a trip to the Final Four on the line. Duke struggled at the start, allowing the Red Storm easy shots but failing to convert on its own side of the court. The Blue Devils would recover, though, using a combination of zone defense and better shot selection to take their first lead with 9:26 remaining in the first half. “I felt that we needed to mix it up a little bit, and I didn’t know how long we would go with the change,” McCallie said. “I thought our team did a pretty good job… I think it’s important to be a multiple-defense team.” With the change—and the Red Storm’s Da’shena Stevens in foul trouble—Duke got back in the game, and the lead went back-
and-forth before the Blue Devils pulled away with 6:24 left in the half with a 13-0 run that included a 3-pointer in the final second of the opening period.
“Duke played exceptionally well tonight and forced us into a lot of turnovers [that] took us out of our game,” St. John’s head coach Kim Barnes Arico said.
W. BASKETBALL from news page 1 win or lose, it is a process, I believe in that, and I think we have done well all year,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “I think we are getting back at it and each person is getting better, and that is what connects the dots with a little more excitement.” Top-seeded Stanford will be a difficult matchup for the Blue Devils, with star senior Nnemkadi Ogwumike leading the team in front of a California crowd that will be cheering on the home team. Ogwumike notched 39 points and 10 rebounds in Saturday night’s 76-60 win against South Carolina, and she is averaging 21.8 points and 10.3 rebounds for the season. Her sophomore sister Chiney has

Despite the duo and its nightly doubledoubles posing difficult challenges to a Duke team boasting only eight scholarship players on its active roster, the Blue Devils have their own weapons to fight with. They came out hitting 57.6 percent from the field in their first three tournament games, the highest of all teams so far, and all five starters—Tricia Liston, Haley Peters,
Chelsea Gray, Shay Selby and Elizabeth Williams—are averaging double-digit points. Although the offense is finally coming together in the tournament, the team has worked throughout the year to become a cohesive group. “I just felt that our togetherness was a little better starting from the first round, and we’ve just been feeding off of each other really well, and it’s been showing on the court,” Gray said. “We’re closer than we’ve ever been right
“Da’Shena is our strength in the zone, and when we don’t have her in there, it’s hard to score.” At the end of the first 20 minutes, the Blue Devils had outpaced the Red Storm, shooting at a 50-percent clip in the first half for the sixth straight game. Duke continued its strong play in the second half behind senior guard Shay Selby. “This is my last go-around, so I want to go out with a bang, and I let my energy trickle down onto the other players,” said Selby, who finished the game with a team-high 18 points and seven assists. “Even from our first tournament game, we were a completely different team than we’ve been all season. We’ve finally been putting things together, and fortunately, it’s at the right time.” The Red Storm had difficulty getting defensive stops and stopping Selby, who not only contributed points to Duke’s total, but created shot opportunities for her teammates. “When you have multiple people who can score, it’s difficult to defend,” head coach Kim Barnes Arico said. “We really stress [guarding] their point guard and their big, but other players have really been stepping up and doing an incredible job scoring for them…. I just think they can really score the basketball, and that makes it a tough match-up for anyone.” now, so that’s really good for us.” The adversity the team has gone through has united the tight-knit group, and Duke’s outlook has only been on the upturn since its first game in Nashville, Tenn. Especially since its first-round ACC tournament loss to N.C. State, the Blue Devils have emerged into a team that can defend well, create shot opportunities and make baskets, rising to the occasion against big opponents. “I hate to say it, but the loss to N.C. State really made something click in all of us and just kind of make us realize that these games aren’t guaranteed when it comes to tournament time [because] everyone’s playing their best basketball,” Selby said. “This is our last go around, this is it, it’s our big chance to win and go to the Final Four.”

Draw control woes doom Duke Safronczyk, Tuben named All-Americans by Matt Pun THE CHRONICLE
by Jackie Klauberg THE CHRONICLE
For the first time in over 30 years, two Blue Devils scored at the NCAA championships, earning All-America honors. Senior Ben Tuben and graduate student Piotr Safronczyk were named first team and honorable mention AllAmericans in the 100m butterfly and 100m breaststroke, respectively, in Federal Way, Wash. over the weekend. “It was incredibly difficult to make the NCAA championships this year,” head coach Dan Colella said. “Just to get here was quite an accomplishment for both Piotr and Ben and for both of them to be All-Americans is just incredible.” Tuben competed in the 100m butterfly and 50m freestyle events after qualifying at the Ohio State Last Chance Qualifier at the beginning of March. Safronczyk qualified for the 100m and 200m breaststroke after finishing 11th at the same competition. Tuben’s time of 46.84 seconds earned him an eighth place finish at the NCAA championships, his first as a Blue Devil, and making him Duke’s sixth-ever All-American. Safronczyk, in contrast, who claimed the individual ACC title earlier this season, is extremely used to the championship stage. He claimed two Division II national championships SEE SWIMMING ON PAGE 6

An uncharacteristically poor performance at controlling the draw in the second half doomed the Blue Devils to their fourth loss of the season. After trailing by three at the half, No. 12 Virginia (6-4, 1-2 in the ACC) dominated possession in the second period to upset No. 6 Duke (8-4, 2-1) 14-12 Saturday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium. Losing the draw control battle for just the second time this season, the Blue Devils con14 trolled only four of 14 draws in the UVA Duke 12 second half, allowing the Cavaliers to set the pace of play. “[The draw] was really the biggest part of the second half,” Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “We didn’t have the ball.” In the first half, the Blue Devils played as they had for much of the season, holding an advantage in shots, ground balls and draw controls. Despite falling behind 3-1 early, Duke scored three goals in 30 seconds to take its first lead. In addition, to end the half, the Blue Devils went on a 4-1 run, powered by two goals from junior Makenzie Hommel, to take an 8-5 lead. Duke’s second-half possession struggles let Virginia right back into the game as the Cavaliers scored three unanswered goals. “Virginia’s good,” Kimel said. “They’ve had a tough season. They’ve been a little up and down, but they’re good, and you can’t afford to take any piece of the game lightly. I think
Makenzie Hommel helped lead Duke to a halftime lead, but the Blue Devils could not hold on to beat Virginia.

Ward grabs NCAA title
Duke drops battle of the ACC’s best by Shiva Kothari THE CHRONICLE

Becca Ward became the first fencer to win three national championships in saber, beating Monica Aksamit 15-12 in the final. by Andrew Beaton THE CHRONICLE
Welcome to the record books, Becca Ward. Again. The Blue Devil senior captured her third NCAA saber championship Friday, becoming the fifth female fencer to take home three national titles and the first to do so in the saber division. Ward, who also won in 2009 and 2011, defeated Penn State’s Monica Aksamit 15-12 after beating Princeton’s Eliza Stone 15-5 in the semifinals, a rematch of last
year’s championship bout. Ward won a bronze medal in the saber division in the 2008 summer in Beijing, prior to matriculating to Duke. The fourtime All-American marks the end of her collegiate career with her victory, and she has previously stated she has no intention of competing in the 2012 London Olympic Games. “It was really emotional to fence the last time for Duke,” Ward said. “It’s the last time I’ll be representing Duke on the fencing strip. It
was an amazing experience, and I’m glad to have my team here with me.” During those next two days the Blue Devils battled to a ninth-place finish among the 25 schools competing, despite sending a small contingent of only six fencers. That marked the fewest fencers of any school to place in the top 10, where Duke finished for the third consecutive year. Senior Tristan Jones was the SEE FENCING ON PAGE 6
In a meeting of top 10 teams, the match between Duke and Virginia came down to a battle of top 10 singles players. With the match tied at 3-3, each team sent out its top player to try to earn the 7 VT decisive point to 0 Duke clinch the match. 4 UVA Up for Duke 3 the No. 6 Blue Devils (14-3, 4-1 in the ACC) was junior Henrique Cunha, the No. 3 singles player in the nation, who sported a 12-1 record in dual match play, including wins against three players ranked in the top 15. In response, the Cavaliers (15-1, 5-0) sent out No. 7 Jarmere Jenkins, who was undefeated in dual match singles play, featuring a 9-0 record from the No. 1 singles spot. The Cavaliers ultimately prevailed, with their top singles player avenging his earlier doubles loss to give Virginia the victory. “I want Cunha in that [clinching] match every time,” head coach Ramsey Smith said. “He’s the guy who wants the ball.” The first set featured long, physical groundstroke rallies with each player saving break points on his serve in the first couple of games. With the score 6-5 and Jen-
kins serving, Cunha had his best chance to win the set, going up 0-30 in the decisive game. Jenkins responded with four consecutive groundstroke winners, however, to force the tiebreaker. In the tiebreaker, Jenkins continued his strong play, ripping several winners en route to capturing the first set 7-6 (7-4). In the second set, Jenkins broke Cunha early to lead 3-1 and held serve in the fifth game. In that game, Cunque battled back from a 40-15 deficit to earn a break point. Jenkins saved the break point, though, and ultimately won the game. From there, Jenkins cruised to a 6-1 second-set victory that clinched the match for Virginia. “It was a high level, high quality match,” Smith said. “Cunha did have some chances, but Jenkins played really well.” Virginia has now won nine consecutive matches against Duke and has amassed 83 consecutive ACC victories, including the last four ACC championships. But the Blue Devils almost ended the streak, jumping out to an early lead by winning the double point— the first time they have done so against Virginia in four matches. In singles play, the Cavaliers came out strong and won at the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 5 positions in straight sets to gain a 3-1 lead. SEE M. TENNIS ON PAGE 6

Zone attack troubles Hoyas Ashworth breaks ACC wins mark by Michael Baker THE CHRONICLE
In their fourth attempt of the season, the Blue Devils finally have a road victory. Despite a late comeback attempt from Georgetown, No. 10 Duke (7-3) rode a strong offensive performance, defeating No. 18 Georgetown (4-3) 13-11 Saturday afternoon at Multi Sport Field. Offensively, Duke received strong performances from senior Robert Rotanz, who netted four goals, junior Josh Offit, who scored Duke 13 two and Hoyas 11 a d d e d an assist, and sophomores Jordan Wolf and Christian Walsh, who both added two goals. In the first quarter, the Blue Devils and the Hoyas traded goals to fight to an even 3-3 score. “They were switching in and out of man and zone,” head coach John Danowski said. “We were very patient in our zone offense. We were aggressive when it was appropriate and patient when it was appropriate.” That zone offense proved effective as the Blue Devils extended their lead by five in fewer than five minutes in the second quarter.

Duke swept through the state of Virginia this weekend, defeating two of its programs. First travelling to Charlottesville to capture a 4-3 win over Virginia, the Blue Devils then moved on to Blacksburg where they overwhelmed Virginia Tech 7-0.

Duke was able to rally back in
singles play as freshman and No. 2 Beatrice Capra upended No. 15 Emily Fraser in a 6-2, 6-0 victory to tie the match at one. The Blue Devils then took the lead as junior Mary Clayton defeated Erin Vierra 6-2, 6-3 in the No. 5 spot. She was soon followed by sophomore Hanna Mar, who clinched Ashworth’s recordsetting victory with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Hana Tomljanovic. Despite carrying their matches into the third set, freshmen Ester Goldfeld and Monica Turewicz were unable to outlast their opponents, ending the match 4-3. “I was really happy with the overall effort of the singles,” Ashworth said. “They responded to the challenge. They didn’t shy away from it.” As Duke moved on to Virginia Tech, Ashworth switched up all three of the doubles teams to completely new pairings. “We are just trying to find the momentum with our doubles play,” Ashworth said. “The last couple matches we have not been able to do that as well as I would have liked.” SEE W.

Before yesterday, the last time Duke swept a conference series was a week after the basketball team fell 7978 to Connecticut in the 2004 Final Four. But the Blue Devils (11-14, 4-5 in the ACC) changed that with a 5-3 win Sunday at English Field in Blacksburg, Va. against Virginia Tech. Duke won the first two games of the series 5-3 and 13Duke 5 0, respectively The conference sweep was also the first for the 3 VT Blue Devils under head coach Duke 13 Sean McNally. “Everything really clicked this 0 VT weekend,” McNally. “We’ve been waiting for our offense to break Duke 5 out, and with two strikes our guys were really competitive. We were 3 VT grinding a lot with two strikes, we got a lot of two-out hits, and two-out RBIs. We scored 23 runs in three games—it was really a breakout weekend.” The Blue Devils jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second after designated hitter Matt Berezo knocked in two runs on a two-out single. Berezo moved to third on a hit-and-run single and scored while Anthony LaBruna purposely got caught between first and second base to draw the defense’s attention. Aaron Cohn led off the top of the seventh with an infield single, before Jordan Betts broke open what was a 3-2 game in the seventh with his second home run of the year—an “important” home run, according to McNally.

scoreless. Georgetown’s Travis Comeau and Francis McDonough led the Hoya offense netting three and two goals, respectively, in the game. Their seven goal lead was enough, however, to carry them through the Georgetown rally. Although Danowski attributed the scoring drought to a lack of poise, he cited the strong performances of a number of players—notrably junior goalie Dan Wigrizer–in leading the team to victory. “We threw the ball away twice with an extra man and failed to clear several times— so it wasn’t any one person involved but a whole bunch of guys,” Danowski said. “We were delighted with the performance of Rotanz once again, Offit, and Lawson. Wigrizer played well in the fourth quarter when he needed to by making four saves. But everybody made a lot of contributions through the 60 minutes.” Defensively, Georgetown’s 20 minute scoring drought was the longest enforced by Duke this season. Wigrizer ended the game with nine saves.
A late substitute at No. 6 singles, Blue Devil Cale Hammond responded to Virginia’s surge with a 6-4, 6-4 victory to close the gap to 3-2. At No. 4 singles, Fred Saba stormed back from a 5-3 deficit to win the first set 7-5, setting the stage for Cunha and Jenkins. “Overall it was a great college match,” Smith said. “We had an awesome crowd, a great atmosphere out there.” On Sunday, the Blue Devils responded decisively to the close loss to the Cavaliers. Playing Virginia Tech (6-8, 2-3), Duke won 7-0 without dropping a single set in singles or doubles. Cunha rebounded from his earlier loss, winning his singles and doubles matches easily. In doubles, Cunha won 8-3 to clinch the doubles point and followed that up with a convincing 6-1, 6-0 victory at No. 1 singles to give the Blue Devils an insurmountable 4-0 advantage. Although Duke split its matches over the weekend, it is still looking to improve and ultimately get another chance to beat Virginia. “I think we are a better team than we’ve been. I thought in some spots we did not play our best,” Smith said. “Hopefully we’ll get a shot at Virginia in the ACC tournament.”
the thing that disappoints me is… the draw and the ground balls are our game.” With a firm hold on possession, Virginia accumulated a 15 -9 shot advantage. Despite nine saves from Blue Devil senior Mollie Mackler, the Cavaliers retook the lead with 16:42 left to play on a goal from Katie Slater. The Virginia sophomore led the Cavaliers in scoring, tallying three of her four goals in the second half. “What she did against us is exactly what she’s done in [previous] games, and I just don’t think we did necessarily a great job of holding her and/or getting help to her in time,” Kimel said. “We were really late to do that.” Without redshirt senior Casey Beyel, who did not play due to an injury suffered against Dartmouth Mar. 17, directing the backfield, Duke struggled to slow down Virginia’s attack. Additionally, the team committed 16 second-half fouls, more than Virginia racked up in the entire game. “We’ve got to figure out if we can have a better voice on the field,” Kimel said. “We missed Casey Beyel today, I think, tremendously.... We hear her all the time on the field. She directs traffic all over the place.” After back-and-forth scoring, a goal from Duke sophomore Molly Quirke evened the score at 12 with 8:23 to play. Winning three straight draw controls, however, the Cavaliers seized a two-goal lead in the next three minutes. Although the Blue Devils would regain possession twice more, the best opportunity they had to make it back into the game was a shot that ricocheted off the post. “We’ve got to find our voice, and we’ve got to do the dirty work to be ready to win the hustle categories next Friday [against North Carolina],” Kimel said.
runs in five innings on the mound as he improved his record to 3-3. Drew Van Orden pitched the sixth and David Putnam took care of the seventh, eighth and ninth to get the save. Marcus Stroman picked up the win Friday, after throwing a season-high eight innings. The junior right-hander notched eight strikeouts while issuing just one walk before freshman Andrew Istler closed out the victory with a perfect ninth, recording his third save of the season. Freshman Trent Swart dominated the Hokie hitters Saturday for 7.2 innings before lightning forced the game to be suspended until Sunday. The southpaw struck out seven and allowed just six runners to reach base—only two in scoring position. “Everyone pounded the zone,” catcher Mike Rosenfeld said. “[The pitching staff] threw all pitches in all counts and weren’t afraid to attack hitters. I would have thought [the rain] would have had a negative effect on the pitchers, but I think it brought the best out of all of us.” The Blue Devil bats gave Swart more than enough run support in the 13-0 thrashing. The first four hitters in the lineup went a combined 12-for-19 on the day, including centerfielder Will Piwnica-Worms, who went 4-for-5 with a career-high five RBIs and added his third home run of the season.

Jones won 12 of his 23 bouts while Nollner, a member of the US Junior National Team, came out on top nine times. Rounding out the small Duke squad, junior Anthony Lin finished 19th in the saber division. On the female side, Sarah Collins won 11 of 23 in a strong freshman performance, earning her 13th. In the same division, junior Emily D’Agostino finished in 20th place. Although it was a strong finish for the team, Ward stole the headlines in a memorable final performance as a collegiate competitor, even if the final match was a close one. “It was back and forth, but I pulled it out in the end,” she said. “It was all really emotional afterwards. I couldn’t be happier.”

reason, reducing the statute of limitations to one year may increase the likelihood of a legitimate suit, encompassing accurate and uncorrupted evidence. To show consideration toward the victim, the statute of limitations must reflect the unique psychological trauma caused by sexual assault. The system should allow the victim time to process the psychological pain and emotional ambiguity before reporting the incident. It is possible that this time may enhance a victim’s understanding of the incident. Victims also might be more likely to report sexual assault after seeking support from a counselor, friends or family. If it is indeed true that time actually improves the cred-
ibility of evidence and allows more victims to come forward, this would defeat the idea that victim reliability diminishes over time. Achieving this balance is critical, as sexual assault cases often involve ambiguity. There is often a lack of direct evidence, which results in cases coming down to the victim’s word against that of the accused. After adding alcohol to the mix, the case becomes even less clear. We must also consider that there are a number of reasons why a sexual assault victim may need time before reporting the incident. Psychological trauma and social pressures are powerful factors that can keep a victim from reporting sexual assault. It is critical to strike a
balance between ensuring reliable evidence and allowing enough time for victims to become ready to report sexual assault. Last Spring, to better accommodate victims, the standard of proof for proving someone guilty was reduced per federal guidance from “clear and convincing” to a “preponderance of evidence.” Changes in standard of proof as well as statute of limitations must reflect balance and justice for both sides. Both of these considerations are important in our criminal justice system, and giving undue priority to either side is unfair. Given the ambiguities of many sexual assault incidents, great effort is required to preserve fairness for both parties.

gotta give Duke credit.… The school knows how to deal with the unfortunate half of their “liberal arts” moniker: Fake it till you make it. Since there’s no legitimate interest in the arts on campus, the school will keep pretending like there is until it exists. Case in point: Froshlife. Duke drops a scholarship’s-worth of cash on this red carpet contest for freshmen, but only like five out of 13 dorks ... er dorms, even submit videos. the devil You can tell Duke really cares monday, monday about this struggling event by how much they bribe students to come. Jazz at the Mary Lou does alright on their own, so they can bribe attendees with just sliced vegetables; the Nasher’s got it a little harder, so they gotta give out free desserts. But how desperate does Froshlife gotta be that they’re handing out freaking iPod touches?! More people come by my room every week to watch “Pretty Little Liars” than go see the Froshlife films, but Duke doesn’t give up on those wannabe-Spielbergs, and that sets an important example for us students. The school understands the importance of feigning artistic sophistication, and they’re just waiting for us to catch up. That’s why my intro to film class isn’t categorized under film, it’s part of a department Duke calls “Arts of the Moving Image.” My heart filled with joy when I typed that on my resume, because I knew I could finally delete the header that says, “I AM NOT A PHILISTINE!” (Employers eat up caps lock, BTW.) The school requires you take those two ALP credits because they want to give you a break from all those classes that have useful information; but they also want you taking two ALPs so you’re equipped to prove you’re better than all the other blood-sucking-vampire squids at i-banker parties, “Picasso was just a touch self-indulgent with ‘Guernica,’ don’t you think?” Lines like that only come from men dripping in sophistication. Sure, I hate going to plays as much as the next guy. Why go to the theater when I can watch way hotter people do their thing way better on TV (or TV’s filthy felinophile little brother: the Internet)? For the same reason, I can’t stand shows by the Pitchforks (I’d rather choke myself); DefMo dance-offs (if I wanna drop a stupid amount of FLEX on gettin’ served, I’ll go to the WaDuke); or Sabrosura showcases (I’d rather watch the Pitchforks while choking myself). Hoof ‘n Horn puts out a good effort, but they suffer from a logistical oversight (namely that musicals suck); and DUI shows are like watching an episode of “Whose Line is it Anyway?” where Drew Carey gets to play in every game. But I still go to all these group’s shows, and you know why? I attend for the exact same reason as every other member of the audience: it makes me seem cultured. Some Duke students put a lot of value in seeming interesting; they’ll skip a Friday night pregame to go to a Robert Glasper concert (so they can tell everyone at Devine’s how interesting they are when they show up at 1:30 a.m.). And a few truly hardcore souls even have enough commitment to pretend they enjoy listening to Youth Lagoon or reading novels. (For anyone interested in feeding the animals, these diehards are currently on display at the Duke Coffeehouse.) Despite these outliers, most Duke students still don’t know that the secret to seeming interesting is attending arts performances (so that you can criticize the performers). All it takes is a walk down the Plaza to see how desperate performance groups are to find audiences. On a sunny day, the tablers are lined up plugging their boring shows with every pathetic weapon in their arsenal: baiting you with bowls of candy, playing irrelevant music through MacBook speakers and yelling the same trying-to-be-funny pitch every 12 seconds whether there are new listeners present or not. “Speakonomics is the only a capella show that’s good for the speakonomy?!” Great! But how bout you give me a minute to enjoy my Loop burger in silence. So go out and support your favorite local artists. Do it so we can all enjoy some peace on the Plaza again. (Maybe then it’ll deserve that self-referencing ad campaign that’s strewn across all its lamp posts.) There will always be someone more interesting than you (unless you sponsor a Mexican beer), but you can still improve your interesting ranking if you put on your non-prescription glasses and go to a couple end of the year showcases this Spring. The Devil thinks Earth without art is just “Eh” … But charter schools without art teach you to believe in life after love.

commentaries
lettertotheeditor Response to article ‘Exhibit depicts refugees’ concerns’ I participated in the Refugee Panel discussion held on March 21, 2012 and the next day The Chronicle published an article entitled “Exhibit depicts refugees’ concerns,” where I was paraphrased in the reporter’s own language: “After his parents left Tibet to settle in India, Norbu said he and other refugees were perceived as a threat or drain to the Indian economy and looked down upon by others. Tibetan refugees often live in fear of persecution or deportation.” The reporter has failed to capture the essence of my talk. I am concerned that the way the reporter paraphrased my words is out of the context and reflects negatively on India. What I really said was that refugees are seen as a drain to the economy, but this is not the case and I gave an example of how Tibetans have positively contributed to the Indian economy. I also gave an example of how Kenyan government receives foreign money to take care of Somalia refugees, which I said
is an injection to the economy. I repeatedly said in the talk that I am very thankful to the Indian government as they have allowed us to have a vibrant Tibetan community, Tibetan government in exile and Tibetan refugee schools in India. Every year about 2000 to 3000 Tibetans from Tibet cross the Himalayan mountains during winter time when there are fewer border guards but heavy snow to live in freedom in exile, get proper education and see the leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This reality shows that there are challenges in Tibet. To address refugees challenges, we need to provide short-term, medium-term and long-term solutions, and also need to address the root cause of challenges; in the context of Tibet, Tibet-China conflict needs to be resolved. I would appreciate if you would publish this letter to remedy mistakes in the article entitled “Exhibit depicts refugees’ concerns,” which was published on March 22, 2012. Best regards, Thupten Norbu
