Q&A with Alex Swain THE CHRONICLE

The Swain Train is leaving the station.

The Chronicle’s Maggie Spini sat down with incoming Duke Student Government President Alex Swain, a senior, to talk about what she wants to accomplish this year, what DSG does and what’s left on her Duke bucket list.

The Chronicle: Has what you want to focus on changed at all since you won the election in April? What issues this year do you think will be most defining?

Alex Swain: The most difficult issues are always the ones that surprise you, like when there’s a big policy change that kind of slid under the radar. For the upcoming year I have a good idea of what we’re going to be working on.

Right now we’re working on student tailgate. We’re also working to change the statute of limitations in instances of sexual violence or sexual assault.

We’re also working on changes to the house model and gender-neutral housing. It’ll be interesting to see how the campus culture is going to change under the house model. We’re always going to be keeping an eye on how the house model is turning out, what students like about it and what they don’t like about it and try to make changes based on that.

TC: How would you explain what DSG does to new students, or to students who are apathetic about DSG? AS: DSG is the student advocacy body. We’re a liaison between the undergraduate population and the Duke administration. In terms of the relation-

ship of freshmen to DSG, we could be an advice body or freshmen can run for Senate elections and get involved with DSG and represent their class and the interests of freshmen. I didn’t do that, but it’s a good opportunity to get involved. You learn a lot about how Duke works by getting involved with DSG. If you have any concerns about anything on campus, any policy changes, or any big changes on campus, DSG is the body to go to express your concerns.

We can advocate on your behalf. We also coordinate service events and stuff like that.

TC: Will the role of DSG change with you as president?

AS: I want DSG to be more of a student voice. Oftentimes we assume we’re this representative body and we know everything that students want, but that’s not always the case. I want to put our advocacy more at the forefront of students’ minds and be more active in gauging student interest.

TC: What’s your proudest moment in DSG so far?

AS: Winning the election was pretty cool. Also working to get an on-campus voting site was a good moment. And, even though we didn’t defeat Amendment One, working with a group of students to rally against that and getting people out to vote, no matter how they voted.

TC: What are fun things you recommend to do or see around Duke or Durham?

AS: I’m from Durham, and I like

TORI POWERS/THE CHRONICLE

Duke Student Government President Alex Swain, a senior, is the student voice in University policy. my city. There are a lot of cool restaurants to go to downtown. Always check out the new exhibits at the Nasher— the Nasher always has the coolest parties on Thursday nights. Other things downtown: there’s often free live music at Brightleaf or American Tobacco Campus. Durham is a really artsy city so there’s lots to do—you can check it out on the Durham events calendar online.

There are also a lot of good opportunities to get involved and engaged civically in the community. You can do service projects like work at Urban Ministries or work at Duke Hospital. Just take advantage of a lot of the opportunities you have.

TC: Is there anything you know going into senior year that you wish you’d known freshman year?

AS: I’m pretty satisfied with Duke so far. I think something to keep in mind is to enjoy the experience. Don’t get so stressed out that you forget you’re at an amazing university surrounded by amazing people. Just enjoy the experience and live in the moment. I would also tell people to not get too stressed about the future, but I need to take my own advice on that one.

TC: Is there anything that you’re particularly excited about for senior year? Things you still have to cross off your Duke bucket list?

AS: I want to go to a lot more sporting events, besides the big sports like basketball and football. We have so many amazing athletes, but I haven’t been to that many tennis matches or track meets. And I kind of want to—I know this is really unrealistic—do rowing. Maybe I’ll go to a little clinic or something. Also, I play the violin, so I want to do more of that. I’m only taking three classes next semester so hopefully I’ll get more time to play the violin and maybe be in a chamber ensemble or something. I was in the symphony my freshman year.

Brodhead secures new term amid mixed reviews

by Margot Tuchler THE CHRONICLE

With the University set to officially launch a capital campaign, President Richard Brodhead will kick off his new five-year term by helping Duke garner funds.

Brodhead was reappointed in May after a review process that spanned several months. Although the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to reappoint the President, faculty members’ reactions were mixed during the review process, as revealed in interviews afterward. Although many praised Brodhead’s efforts in fundraising and expanding Duke’s global presence, Richard Brodhead some worried he lacked a strong leadership presence among students and faculty.

The Fundraiser In terms of fundraising, though, there does not appear to be much doubt that Brodhead is well-suited for the task. “[A common view was that] Brodhead is very good at these sorts of relationships, building these relationships,” said neurobiology professor Dona Chikaraishi, one of three faculty members on the review committee. “His demeanor is presidential in a sense, very diplomatic, so you can see that he would be good with people interested in supporting the University.”

Indeed, although Brodhead noted that much of what gets done at the University is due to collaborative efforts, he said his successful fundraising constitutes one of the proudest accomplishments of his tenure so far.

“I did make an issue of the fact that Duke has a very generous financial aid policy without having anything like the resources it needed to sustain that policy,” he said. “That was probably the first thing I felt was my personal contribution.”

Duke’s Financial Aid Initiative, which began in 2005 and ended in 2008, raised more than $308 million to support new scholarships and fund the University’s financial aid policy.

Behind-the-scenes Some faculty members told The Chronicle Brodhead’s on-campus presence and engagement are lacking, noting that Provost Peter Lange appears responsible for many notable initiatives within the University.

Chikaraishi noted that a similar sentiment came up during the review process. “[One] thing brought up was that the people in the top administrative levels—Brodhead, Lange and [Executive Vice President Tallman] Trask—tend to speak with one voice and that’s why it’s hard to parse,” she said.

Chikaraishi, also associate dean for biomedical graduate education and leadership services, noted that this is “probably a good thing”—but said she understands that it might make it difficult to identify Brodhead’s personal accomplishments.

Brodhead said his job is collaborative in nature, especially given the proximity of his office to his colleagues’—the offices of Lange, Trask and Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education, are all housed in the Allen Building. This leads to constant and “organic” meetings with his colleagues on a daily basis, Brodhead said, noting the contrast between the set-up at Duke and at Yale University. Before coming to Duke in 2004, Brodhead served 11 years as dean of Yale College, where the offices of top administrators were housed in separate buildings.

He said his job requires him to be away from campus on a regular basis, as he meets with alumni and promotes Duke around the world. He serves as co-chair for the Commission on Humanities and Social Sciences, a national commission, and his fundraising ventures require frequent contact with alumni.

“I’m very glad there are people here who are directly in charge of everything,” he added. “There’s nothing that’s left unattended when the president leaves town.”

Owen Astrachan, professor of the practice of computer science, acknowledged that Brodhead acts behind-the scenes, but said he does not see this as a negative. Lange serves as the spokesperson to faculty members, Astrachan said, adding that his style is more assertive than the previous provost John Strohbehn.

Student connections Paralleling some faculty’s concern that Brodhead’s voice is not heard strongly enough on campus is students’ sense of disconnect with the President. Chikaraishi said that the review committee discussed a Chronicle editorial written in February, which raised concerns that Brodhead does not engage with students as much as he should and noted that this sentiment was also picked up during the review process.

Former Duke Student Government president Pete Schork, Trinity ’12 said the structure of the administration is such that his interaction with the President was minimal as compared to other administrators.

“We worked more closely with [Vice President for Student Affairs Larry] Moneta and Dean Nowicki.”

Marcus Benning, president of the Black Student Alliance, said he was pleased with Brodhead’s response

to BSA’s demands delivered to the Allen Building in January.

“He was very forthright and he was very candid with us about the University’s priorities as they relate to race,” Benning said.

Benning noted, though, that Brodhead’s involvement in issues of race on campus came a bit late.

“If I could do one thing I would issue a challenge to President Brodhead to be more proactive in addressing issues before students have to respond to them,” Benning said. “I don’t personally believe it should take a full action student mobilization campaign to get the president’s attention on issues that affect the student population.”

Brodhead said that he particularly enjoys interacting SEE BRODHEAD ON PAGE 22

Admissions yield drops two points

by Kristie Kim THE CHRONICLE

Despite a 6 percent jump in the number of applications for undergraduate admission this year, the yield on offers for the Class of 2016 dipped slightly compared to last year.

Approximately 42 percent of applicants admitted to the University accepted their offer of admission, Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said. This is a two percent decrease from the yield for Class of 2015.

The University, which experienced a record 31,600 applications for the Class of 2016, currently expects to enroll a class of 1,733 freshmen.

“The stability of the yield is representative of the fact that despite the University’s interaction with institutions of a tougher competitive yield in admissions group, we’ve maintained our position,” Guttentag said.

He added that although the stability is expected class size understandable, he hopes

BYTHENUMBERS

42 percent

1733 students

that the yield will increase for the upcoming admissions cycles.

Yield has fluctuated between 41 and 45 percent for the past twenty years, Guttentag noted. He added that several factors may contribute to the slight discrepancies in yield, such as the differing economic and regional distributions of applicants from year to year and the lure of competing universities.

“What we’re seeing is two offsetting factors—we clearly are working harder to enroll students, enhancing outreach efforts to admitted students and revising Blue Devil Days to make them better, while dealing with tougher competition for our admitted students,” he said.

As the admissions office tries to finalize the upcoming freshmen class, Duke will take roughly 170 students— approximately 10 percent of the Class of 2016—from the wait list, which will be consistent with wait list admissions from the past few years, Guttentag noted.

Typically, he added, the wait list gives admissions more flexibility in a year with a record number of applications.

“We went through the wait list this year without specific goals to fill in any gaps,” Guttentag said. “We were able to admit applicants who were as every bit as appealing, interesting and diverse as those admitted in March but didn’t yet have room for.”

NC House strikes down sea level bill

by Jack Mercola THE CHRONICLE

Rising waters will dampen economic growth in North Carolina’s coasts—the question is by how much.

Over the past weeks, the Republican-led North Carolina legislature has been debating how to address future increases in sea levels on the state’s eastern coast. House Bill 819, which garnered opposition from state climate scientists, would have mandated that predictions in sea level change could only be derived from historical sea level data, not from scientific projections of climate change.

The bill, drafted and sponsored

by House Deputy Majority Whip Pat McElraft, R-Carteret, was approved by the Senate June 12 in a 35-to-12 vote.

When it returned to the House the following week, the representatives struck it down 114-to-0, due to significant backlash from the scientific community and residents of coastal counties, McElraft said. Another version of the bill is currently being drafted.

Sea level rise predictions generated by the two methods differ wildly.

Whereas predictions based on linear extrapolation using historical data determined that sea levels would only increase eight to 12 inches in the next century, a computer simulation found that the rise of sea levels on the NC coast will accelerate steeply and in-

crease by 39 inches in that time. These findings, determined by a group of state-appointed climate scientists, suggest that 2,000 miles of NC coast land could be in jeopardy.

“An assumption that the sea level will rise in the future only as much as it has risen in the past would lead to an underestimate of sea level change,” said Susan Lozier, professor of physical oceanography. “Underestimates of sea level rise would give coastal communities a false sense of security regarding the survivability of current and planned beach front structures and the safety of their communities during storms, especially hurricanes.”

Lozier, whose research focuses on the ocean’s role in climate variability and climate change, added that predicting sea level changes based only on historical data is analogous to predicting a 30-year-old smoker’s health based solely on his health in the first 30 years of his life, despite knowing the acceleration of smoking health risks. The future does not always resemble the past, she added.

But some organizations such as NC20, a partnership of businesses, local governments and people of 20 different coastal counties, support the original language. A meter of sea level increase SEE SEA LEVEL ON PAGE 23

Duke lobbying weighs dollars and advocacy

by Yeshwanth Kandimalla THE CHRONICLE

As a recipient of millions in federal dollars and a tax-exempt nonprofit, the University navigates a delicate boundary when it comes to political advocacy.

Duke’s lobbying expenditures have averaged around $418,000 annually from 2008 to 2011, according to University disclosures. The spending is crucial to help secure funding and other University interests at the federal level, said Chris Simmons, associate vice president for federal relations and one of three registered lobbyists employed directly by the University. In 2011, the University received nearly $1.4 billion from the federal government in the form of research grants, hospital reimbursements and financial aid.

The University takes stances on pertinent legislation, but, as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, Duke does not formally endorse or contribute money in favor of any candidate, political party or ballot initiative, Simmons noted. “We want to make sure that Duke’s story is told [in Washington],� Simmons said. “We follow the mantra of knowledge in service to society.�

Simmons and his colleagues Melissa Vetterkind, director of the Office of Federal Relations, and Paul Vick, associate vice president for government relations for the Duke University Health System, are formally registered with the U.S. Congress because they spend more than 20 percent of their working hours lobbying members of the House and Senate.

The University calculates and reports lobbying expenses based on the salaries of its lobbyists, costs of travel to Washington, D.C. for students, faculty and administrators and the monetary value of time spent communicating with politicians, Simmons said.

Duke’s expenditures on federal lobbying are in line with its peer institutions, according to 2011 data from the Center for Responsive Politics. Harvard and Yale Universities spent more than $500,000, and some state universities, including Texas A&M, allocated more than $1 million to their lobbying efforts.

Many universities, including Harvard and the University of Michigan, maintain offices dedicated to federal relations, Simmons noted. Although Duke recently opened a Washington office, it will serve more as an academic facility and resource for alumni rather than a way to further relations with the federal government.

For-profit schools report lobbying budgets comparable to nonprofit and state schools. Corinthian Colleges and Devry, Inc. both spent more than $700,000 on lobbying last year. “It’s not surprising that they would have to do that,� said Steve Billet, chief of staff at George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management. “These guys are not in the business of providing education, they’re in the business of making somebody rich.�

What Duke wants In recent months, the University has focused its advocacy on maintaining lower interest rates on federal student loans, Simmons said.

Interest rates on federally subsidized Stafford Loans could double July 1 from 3.4 to 6.8 percent unless Congress approves an extension of the lower rate.

There is broad agreement across both parties that interest rates should not double, but Congress has not yet resolved a way to pay for an extension, Simmons noted. The University does not endorse a particular method for finding revenue, as long as the lower rate is extended. “There are so many ways to pay for it that would not impact Duke and its students, so we just want them to figure it out,� Simmons said.

In order to push for interests such as the rate extension, the University encourages faculty and students to testify in congressional hearings and communicate with members to discuss particularly important issues or areas of research seeking federal support.

For example, Bill Chameides, dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment, testified June 19 before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, advocating greater federal action to combat climate change.

President Richard Brodhead periodically sends letters to members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation outlining Duke’s priorities in federal appropriations. In a letter sent in February, Brodhead called on Sens. Richard Burr, R-N.C. and Kay Hagan, D-N.C. and Rep. David Price, D-N.C., to support more than $30 billion for the National Institutes of Health, more than $7 billion for the National Science Foundation and more than $150 million for the National Endowment for the Humanities. Brodhead also recommended that Congress provide sufficient funding for Pell Grants and work-study funding.

These federal research and financial aid programs are

facing major cuts in 2013. With the automatic cuts triggered

by Congress’ failed supercommittee budget negotiations last November, the NIH and NSF could see their funding cut by up to 7.8 percent. Although Pell Grants would avoid cuts under the sequesters, other federal financial aid programs would be cut $134 million.

Although politicians are attempting to undo the sequester for defense spending, there are currently no proposals to directly undo cuts to other major agencies such as the NSF and NIH, Billet noted. That could change rapidly in the coming months before election day. Representatives try to avoid drastic cuts that would anger their constituencies, which include universities.

Beyond securing federal dollars, Simmons noted that Duke also lobbies for efforts to improve access to higher education, most recently with the DREAM Act, which would offer legal status to young illegal immigrants who plan to

attend college or join the military.

Although Burr does not support the DREAM Act, Simmons encouraged Hagan to support the measure.

The DREAM Act passed the House in December 2010, but was filibustered in the Senate.

Despite the contentious debates about federal spending in Washington, the interests of higher education receive broad bipartisan support, Simmons noted.

Nonetheless, certain members of Congress point to some university spending as wasting federal dollars. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-OK, named three Duke researchers in a 2011 report scrutinizing the NSF and alleging misuse of funds by the organization.

Although deficit hawks may occasionally voice criticism, Simmons noted, most members understand that research at Duke addresses relevant issues and goes through a thorough peer review process before receiving a major grant.

Komen for the Cure funds Duke cancer research

by Ashley Mooney THE CHRONICLE

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has mobilized a global network of activism and fundraising to fight breast cancer. Some of those funds have now been put to work at Duke.

In fiscal year 2012, the Komen foundation awarded eight grants totaling over $1.87 million to Duke researchers. Since 1982, Komen has funded 47 research grants totaling nearly $15 million at Duke and Duke University Medical Center. These research grants focus on translational projects that will bring benefit to patients within the next 10 years, said Chandini Portteus, vice president of research, evaluation and scientific programs at Komen.

“Duke has been successful in getting grants on every single level that we fund,” said Portteus.

Komen-funded projects are aimed at reducing the number of women who get breast cancer and breast cancer mortality.

Approximately 40,000 women die of breast cancer each year in the United States, Sung Hee Park, a postdoctoral researcher at Duke and Komen grant recipient this year, wrote in an email June 11. Park received $180,000 for a postdoctoral fellowship studying estrogen-related receptors’ effect on the formation of breast tumors.

Two training programs funded by Komen are a postdoctoral fellowship, which supports scientists right out of training in basic-science projects, and a career catalyst award that funds scientists looking for research independence.

Portteus noted that research is moving in a different direction to combat the pervasiveness of breast

~ Indian Cinema ~ TTH 3:05-4:20

75 years of Indian cinema -- from Sant Tukaram (1936) to Dhobi Ghat (2011) -- viewed from the perspective of Indian aesthetics, including films by Guru Dutt, Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak and Mani Kaul. Professor Satti Khanna

AMES 272S/ LIT 239S/ICS272S

~ Korean Literature in Translation ~ TU 3:05-5:35

This course examines literary and filmic texts from the early-20th century to contemporary North and South Koreas. Readings and discussions will be contextualized in global, regional, and local histories and geopolitics. The course is structured around the broader theme of “Borderlands Koreas” and will consider translations, travels, and trespassing across precarious borderlines of nations, gender/sexuality, languages, and ideologies. Topics include the histories and legacies of colonialism, the Korean war, the cold war, and the division system, and the impact of globalization and migrations in relation to China, Japan, Viet Nam, and the U.S. Contemporary authors from Korea and its diasporas will be invited to join our discussions. Professor Nayoung Aimee Kwon

AMES 341/AMI 263/JEWISHST 266

~ Screening the Holocaust ~ TTH 11:45-1:00

Ever since the end of World War II, but even more so in recent years, filmmakers were fascinated with the fate of Jews during that war and wrestled with the task of visually depicting the atrocities of the Jewish Holocaust. In this class, we will watch a variety of documentary and fictional films about the Holocaust produced in a variety of cultural contexts: the US, Israel, France, Germany, Italy, the USSR and more. We will consider the strategies that filmmakers employ to represent what is commonly termed “unrepresentable” and what is the relationship between these strategies and the place of the Jewish Holocaust in the popular imagination. Ultimately, we will ask what are the implications of these strategies for a politics of memory. Professor Shai Ginsburg

AMES 361

~ Anime : Origins, Forms, Mutations ~ W 3:05-5:35

This course examines both the historical origins of Japanese anime, as well as its status as art, narrative, and genre. We will also look at the ways in which anime ‘mutates’: formally (in its relationship to literature, manga, live action film), culturally (via fashion, otaku, and fan communities), geographically (in the way it borrows, resonates, and influences animation and live action cinema around the world). No prior knowledge of subject matter of Japanese language required. Professor Eileen Cheng-yin Chow

AMES 431/LIT 214/AMI 250 /VMS 235

~ Modern Chinese Cinema ~ W 3:05-5:35 & TU 7:30-9:30

This course introduces to the students the three major Chinese-language cinemas of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. The focus is on the emergence of new cinemas in all three regions since the early 1980s and then expanded to contemporary filmmaking in the global context. A special series of Classics of Taiwan Cinema begins the inquiries into the questions of “national cinema.” Masterpieces and master filmmakers, from Hou Hsiao-Hsien to Zhang Yimou and from John Woo to Ang Li, are introduced by raising questions about nationalism, realism, and the transnational impact of globalization in the 21st century. Professor Guo-Juin Hong

AMES 482

~ The Arabian Nights in the West ~ TUTH

3:05- 4:20

The course aims at introducing the student to the most popular world literature in the West, The One Thousand and One Nights . This collection presents in both classical Arabic and vernacular- fairy tales, romances, fables, legends, parables, anecdotes, erotica, debates, and adventures in which the main narrative is embedded within a preliminary narrative. This is the structure of The Decameron written by Giovanni Boccaccio and The Canterbury Tales where the tales of the various pilgrims are embedded within the frame story of the journey. The Night’s narrative techniques have appeared in the works of other English and European writers in a steady stream up to the modern times. Professor Abdul Sattar Jawad

AMES 511/AMI 641/DOCST 511

~ Documentary and East Asian Cultures and Societies ~ M 3:05-5:35

This course focuses on East Asia as seen in the documentary mode of representation. Different and yet interconnected cultures and histories are examined and questioned. Documentary films are treated not merely as documents, as facts that inform and impart knowledge; they are first and foremost representation, a significant mode of cultural production that forms distinct sets of discourses and is formed and informed by the filmmakers, the subjects, and the larger context. Particular frameworks are the lasting legacy of Japanese imperialism, Cold War politics, and the growing impact of globalization. Special attention is paid to not only the content of documentary representation but also its formal construction and ethical implications. There will be a series of events with visiting filmmakers from China, providing invaluable opportunities to engage with and learn from documentary practitioners. Professor Guo-Juin Hong

AMES 620S ~ Critical Genealogies of the Middle East: An examination of the canon of Middle East Scholarship ~ M 1:40 – 4:25 The course will offer in-depth investigation into the theoretical traditions that inform interdisciplinary Middle East studies (specific foci include literary and cultural theory, Islamic feminism, postcolonial theory, visual studies, and deconstruction, among others).

cancer.

Dr. Janet Horton, assistant professor of radiation oncology, said research is moving toward personalized care. She received a career catalyst research grant of $439,756 for her work on how different tumors respond to radiation, which will aid in the creation of patient-specific radiation treatment.

“We’re seeing breast cancer [treatment] going towards personalized medicine and more tailored treatments for women based on the kinds of cancer they have and just the way we know cancer behaves,” Portteus said.

Fighting aggressive breast cancer There will be more than 230,000 new cases of breast cancer in the United States this year, associate professor of surgical oncology Dr. Scott Pruitt wrote in an email June 17. Of these cases, 15 to 20 percent will be a type called triple negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer.

Pruitt is conducting Phase I immunotherapy trials in patients with triple negative breast cancer, testing an approach to employ the body’s own immune system to target the disease. He noted that there currently are no approved treatments to lower the recurrence rate of the cancer after surgery and chemotherapy.

“We plan to vaccinate these patients with a vaccine that we generate in our laboratory from their own blood cells,” he said. “We will be testing the safety of this vaccine and will measure immune responses induced by vaccination.”

Dr. Kimberly Blackwell, a Komen Scholar, director of the Breast Cancer Clinical Program and professor of medicine at the Duke Cancer Institute is also doing research on TNBC in the United States and China. Her project is one of the first clinical and translational collaborations between an American and Chinese institution.

Blackwell recently made headway with breast cancer treatment with her study on the drug T-DM1, which is able to deliver toxins to cancerous cells while sparing healthy ones, The Chronicle recently reported.

“At our most recent cancer meeting, Dr. Blackwell presented some of the most amazing cancer breast cancer data that we’ve seen in years,” Portteus said.

Increasing breast cancer research in the Triangle Although breast cancer has seen increased amounts of funding, Blackwell noted in an email June 17 that other types of cancer have suffered from decreased funding.

“Given that the incidence of breast cancer is so high, it is not surprising that [many] research grants, advocacy groups and researchers are involved in one of the most common types of cancer research,” Blackwell said. “Because breast cancer research involves so many areas that affect women’s health... breast cancer research findings extend far beyond those women surviving breast cancer.”

Duke is located near other research universities, such as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but the University is the largest recipient of cancer research funds in the Triangle area.

Blackwell credited this to the DCI having the largest breast cancer program in the Research Triangle area, which attracts a large amount of researchers.

“Most basic scientists want to see their laboratory research directly impacting the lives of women facing breast cancer and therefore are attracted to cancer centers that increase the likelihood of this happening, such as Duke Cancer Institute,” she said.

Siedow, however, said the difference in funding between the universities may not be significant.

“I wouldn’t read too much into there being more grants at Duke than at UNC,” Siedow said.

“That could just as well have gone the other way as both schools have very strong cancer research programs.”

Portteus noted that Duke got more funding than UNC because of Duke’s excellent researchers.

“It’s because they’re focused on things that are really going to make a difference for patients, and they’re focused on a lot of these different really pressing questions,” she said.

‘New Tailgating’ to debut in a field

by Kristie Kim THE CHRONICLE

Tailgate’s replacement will be replaced.

Following several months of negotiations, students and administrators have developed New Tailgating, an alternative for Football Gameday and Tailgate,

and secured a location for the upcoming Fall—a recreation field across from Koskinen Stadium, said Duke Student Government President Alexandra Swain, a senior. The new location and creation of a student tailgating team will address student concerns of the lack of community and student input during the planning and running of Football Gameday. “With having everybody spread out [in Football Gameday], you didn’t have the same feel as the original Tailgate,�

Swain said. “We wanted a space where the student body could be in one centralized location, somewhere that made sense for the main event—football.�

Michael Sobb, associate director of athletics for external affairs, said the new location will play an integral role in ensuring the link between the tailgating event and the football games.

Students will have to walk past the stadium before heading back to West Campus or their residence halls, reminding them of the football game, said former DSG President Pete Schork, Trinity ’12.

A student tailgating committee— consisting of members from DSG, the Panhellenic Council, the Interfraternity Council and the Duke University Union—began meeting at the end of February to spearhead the planning of a new tailgating tradition, Swain said.

Although the first part of planning—

Hanna makes juicy profits with Small Orange

by Maggie Spini THE CHRONICLE

Senior Douglas Hanna is known as a good host—especially to the websites of his 28,000 customers around the world.

Hanna bought A Small Orange, a web hosting and site management company, with his business partner Brent Oxley in March 2010—the second semester of Hanna’s freshman year. Hanna, at 21 years old, is CEO of the company, which made $4 million in revenue in 2011 and is on track to make twice that this year. With a growing emphasis on entrepreneurship and innovation at Duke, Hanna is in many ways ahead of the learning curve.

“I’ve always been interested in entrepreneurial things and a good opportunity presented itself,” Hanna said. “It’s cool when people get involved in entrepreneurial stuff on campus and in Durham.”

A Small Orange provides services to individuals desiring a web presence online. Hosting a website on a personal computer is difficult because the website goes down every time the computer is turned off or the Internet service experiences problems. Hosting companies like A Small Orange provide a reliable alternative.

This summer, Hanna, like many Duke students, is staying for summer session. The only difference is he works at the company full time. While classes are in session, Hanna, a sociology major, spends between 40 and 50 hours per week on his business.

“Usually if I’m not in class I’m here [in the office] or I’m working from home,” he said. “I run around a lot. I travel a lot [for meetings] too, because I have employees all over the country.”

Although Hanna’s coursework at Duke is unrelated to computers, he had experience in the industry before his position at A Small Orange. He worked for Oxley for two years as the customer service manager at web hosting company HostGator.com LLC, before the two bought A Small Orange.

Now, the day-to-day functioning of A Small Orange falls largely under Hanna’s purview. Oxley is an investor in A Small Orange but focuses more time on another company he owns, Hanna said.

The majority of A Small Orange’s 36 employees—most

of whom work remotely—are Linux administrators who also help customers with problems and questions. The company also employs individuals in sales and marketing and even hires Duke students for internship and full-time positions.

A Small Orange regularly appears at the Spring and Fall Career Fairs and sponsors the Duke Start-Up Challenge.

Although Hanna dedicates a large portion of his time to work, he does not think his business responsibilities seriously detract from his college experience. He still makes time for his friends and life outside of work. At times, though, being so busy can be tough—especially because Hanna often travels for business on weekends in order to avoid missing class.

“He does a good job separating down time and work,” said Duke Student Government President Alex Swain, a senior who has been close friends with Hanna since their freshman year. “He’s not like one of those people who when

you’re with him, he’s emailing all the time…. He’s a perfect example of how [Duke students] strive to do great things and don’t see our age as a limit to that.”

Hanna focuses much of his time on his business, but he still manages to take advantage of opportunities at Duke, said senior Jeremy Ruch, who has also been friends with Hanna since their freshman year.

“The list of freshman year college students I know who can take over a web hosting company while serving on the executive board of a major campus organization [Campus Council], while serving as their dorm’s president and managing an award-winning blog—and I think managing our freshman year tent rotation—is pretty thin,” Ruch said.

Hanna said his position at A Small Orange also gives him peace of mind about his post-graduation plans. He intends to work at his current job full-time after he graduates in May 2013.

Campaign for Duke— Duke’s last capital campaign—lasted from 1996 to 2003. The University surpassed its goal of $1.5 billion and raised $2.36 billion.

Duke hopes to exceed this amount this time around.

THE CHRONICLE

This September, the University will publicly announce the start of the largest capital campaign in Duke’s history.

The campaign will conclude in Fall 2017 and will focus on the University’s core strategic values, particularly supporting and expanding the faculty, growing the University’s financial aid resources and developing innovative academic programming, President Richard Brodhead said.

The goal for the campaign has not been officially set though fundraising is expected to exceed the $2.3 billion raised by the Campaign for Duke—the University’s last capital campaign, which concluded in 2003, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. The campaign will officially launch the weekend of Sept. 28 at which time the Board of Trustees will approve the fundraising goal, Brodhead said.

Under this campaign, fundraising will span all of Duke’s undergraduate, graduate and professional schools, corresponding programs, capital projects and initiatives as well as the Duke University Health System.

“Since this will be a comprehensive campaign that will embrace many parts of the University, there will be a number of specific programs and themes that will be announced,” said Board Chair Richard Wagoner, Trinity ’75. “All are based around the goal of moving Duke forward and securing our position as one of the top universities in the world.”

Since July 2010, the campaign has been in a silent phase, during which University leaders gauge donor sentiment and capacity, shape the campaign’s vision and secure preliminary fundraising.

Raising capital Two years is the customary duration for a capital campaign’s silent or planning period, said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. A large part of the silent phase is securing gifts that will make the final goal of the campaign achievable.

Universities typically secure between 33 and 40 percent of the overall fundraising goal during this period.

“We have seen great success in the silent phase, and we suspect it will translate into an appropriately ambitious goal,” Schoenfeld said.

pursue a capital campaign due to its emerging needs and a subsequent demand for more resources. As Duke strives to globalize, become more dynamic in its academic offerings, support interdisciplinarity and strengthen its faculty, more resources are needed, Provost Peter Lange said.

“There’s always a judgment call,” Lange said. “A lot of what you do in that first year is see if you can really identify and develop a set of compelling ideas, themes and priorities that will appeal to our supporters.”

In addition to strategic goals, capital projects are another priority of the campaign, particularly in regard to improving residential life, Lange added.

In comparison with the Campaign for Duke, he noted, the upcoming campaign is much more thematically driven, built less on the individual schools and more on the interaction between them.

A goal amid uncertainty The announcement of the campaign’s goal will follow a thorough assessment of fundraising to date as well as potential support and other contributing factors, Wagoner said.

Throughout the campaign’s planning and its silent phase, there was a long discussion of the University’s priorities, what the University needs and whether it can obtain the resources, Trask said, noting that even with a turbulent economy there has not been a drop off in donor interest.

“We first started planning for the campaign around the downturn when we knew there was a lot of uncertainty,” Brodhead said. “Still, we heard one message from supporters: Make sure to be ambitious about it.”

The uncertainty in the economy is the primary challenge the upcoming campaign will face, said Steve Nowicki, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education. Nowicki spent a significant amount of time with Brodhead and other administrators speaking to supporters in the last two years.

The presence of economic uncertainty means that the University has to be even more dynamic with what it presents to donors, Lange said.

“It’s a long campaign,” he said. “You never know with the economic environment, and

you don’t want to overpromise but yet you want to set a high level of expectation. It’s a balancing act.”

Luckily, this is not the current University leadership’s first major fundraising initiative. In 2005, Brodhead launched the Duke Financial Aid Initiative, which raised $308.5 million. From that experience, Brodhead said he gained an understanding of Duke’s supporters as well as sentiments that should carry over to the upcoming capital campaign.

“People are much less interested in abstractions about education than they are in the actual experience,” he said. “During that campaign, donors realized that you could make a difference in the life of a real person.”

Progress and innovation Bolstering resources for need-based financial aid, growing a strong faculty and building Duke’s programmatic distinctiveness are the three critical pillars of the upcoming campaign, administrators said.

There will also be a significant focus on undergraduate education inside and outside of the classroom, Nowicki said. DukeEngage, undergraduate research and support for nonacademic internship opportunities are some areas for which the campaign will solicit further support.

“One thing that really resonates in general are the many ways that Duke connects its education to the real world,” he said. “Another thing I talk about that really resonates with alums and parents and other supporters of Duke is the way we’re stretching what classroom learning means.”

Nowicki cited the new cluster-based DukeImmerse program and the Humanities Lab as two examples of innovative learning models.

Continued support for faculty and campus facilities is another priority, Nowicki said, noting that Duke, compared to its peers, has less endowed support for faculty positions.

Lange similarly noted the importance of growing the faculty and noted donors’ positive response to the interdisciplinary focuses of a campaign that is rooted in the University’s overall values.

Capital projects to enhance the student experience, such as funding for the renovations to the Bryan Center, Crowell and Craven quadrangles and East Campus residence halls, are also on the University’s agenda, Nowicki said.

“One thing that most Duke supporters love most about Duke is our students,” he said. “We attract great students, and it’s our students that resonate best with those whom we’ll be asking to support Duke in the upcoming campaign.”

MAJOR DONORS Board of Trustees Vice Chair David Rubenstein, Trinity ’70 donated $13.6M to the Duke Libraries— David Rubenstein its largest gift to date—in 2011 and $15 Duke’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship initiative in 2012.

In 2011, Trustee Bruce Karsh, Trinity ’77, and his wife Martha donated $50M to financial aid—the Bruce Karsh largest gift the University has ever received from individual donors.

Trustee Vice Chair Jack Bovender, Fuqua ’69, and his wife Barbara will bequest $25M to Trinity College Jack Bovender and the School of Nursing, announced in 2011. He also gave $1M for a scholarship program in 2012.

The Kiser estate donated $17.2M to the Depart- Glenn and Muriel Kiser ment of Pediatrics in 2010, the largest gift in that department’s history.

In 2011, J. Michael Pearson, Pratt ’81, donated $15M to the School of Nursing in the name of his wife, Christine Pearson, J. Michael Person Nursing ’84.

A new search committee is renewing the process this summer. Current Sanford Dean Bruce Kuniholm will stay on in his position through the coming year until a successor is found.

“We pursued a candidate, and he took a while to decide, and he chose not to accept the position,” Lange said. “Obviously, we’d like to get the person we go after. Often that happens but not always.”

Lange did not confirm the identities of the candidates.

Since graduation in May, the pace of campus life has slowed a bit. Swinging benches on the Bryan Center Plaza are easy to come by, and pushing through masses to find space on a bus is unnecessary. Nonetheless, activity at Duke has by no means ceased. The Chronicle has selected a handful of news highlights from the first summer session in Durham.

Search for new Sanford dean continues In May, administrators revealed that a shortlist of three candidates for the position of dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy did not yield a taker.

The faculty search committee, which began the dean search last Fall, presented three names to President Richard Brodhead and Provost Peter Lange in

Applied policy experience, combined with solid academic credentials would enhance what a candidate could bring to Sanford, search committee member Jacob Vigdor, a professor of public policy and economics. said.

Coley steps down as Robertson director On May 31, Woody Coley announced his resignation as director of the Robertson Scholars program.

Coley was the fourth director in the program’s 12year history, and stepped down after only a year. His decision—which resulted from tensions among the program’s leaders and shifting organizational structure—followed the recent resignation of several other staff members, leaving the program without direction.

Allen Chan, who has served as an internal consultant for the program, is currently serving as the interim executive director, said Fraser Seitel, spokesperson for Julian Robertson, the program’s benefactor and founder.

In a May 31 email to scholars, Coley, former managing partner at the real estate consulting firm Value² Partners, LLC., said he chose to leave because his views on program governance differed from Robertson’s.

“It’s fair to say they didn’t agree on everything,” Seitel said.

Over the course of the past academic year, three other members of the seven-person staff have also stepped down—former Associate Director for Operations Jeanne Kirschner, now the administrative director for the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy; Abbey Greenberg-Onn, former assistant director for recruiting and selection; and Charisma Nelson, former staff assistant for selection and recruiting.

Novel cancer drug stalls tumor growth In mid-June, Duke researchers developed a new drug to halt the spread of cancerous cells with fewer side effects.

It took a while to get “just right,” but the drug T-DM1 both fights breast cancer and delivers fewer side effects, said Dr. Kimberly Blackwell, director of the Breast Cancer Clinical Program and a professor of medicine at the Duke Cancer Institute.

In a Phase III clinical trial, advanced-stage breast cancer patients who were randomly assigned to receive T-DM1 saw their cancer growth delayed longer than patients in the control group that received standard drug regimens. The new drug combines antibodies with toxins to selectively target tumor cells without the slew of side-effects associated with chemotherapy.

In the trial, women with metastatic breast cancer—cancer that is spreading to other areas of the body—were randomly assigned two different treatments: T-DM1 or the standard drug regimen of capecitabine and lapatinib. The study found that women who were given T-DM1 had no cancer growth for a median of 9.6 months, whereas women who received the other treatment saw no cancer growth for a median of 6.4 months. Women given T-DM1 also experienced fewer side effects than would be experienced with chemotherapy, such as hair loss, nausea and diarrhea.

“It’s not just about the drug not hurting patients, it’s about the drug not hurting patients and helping them live longer—that’s the success story,” Blackwell said.

Farewell to Divinity Refectory Despite student protests on the Refectory’s behalf, Duke’s sustainable cafe is leaving its Divinity School location this month.

The eatery, which opened in 2005 and won numerous awards for serving the best food on campus, will move off campus to a new location on Chapel Hill Boulevard and will launch a food truck. The move comes after owner Laura Hall refused to pay a higher commission to Duke Dining. A yet-to-bedetermined vendor will be selected by Duke Dining to occupy the Refectory’s Divinity School location.

Contract negotiations between Duke Dining and Hall stalled in the Spring after Hall declined to increase the annual commission she pays to Duke from 10 to 15 percent of gross revenue. With the

summerinbrief (cont.) existing commission rate, the Refectory paid Dining Services $130,000 from June 2011 to June 2012, Hall said. The fee would rise by $65,000 if the Refectory’s revenue stayed the same next year.

The vendor’s revenue has increased each year it has been on campus. “It’s a sad moment for Duke,� said former Duke Student Government president Pete Schork, Trinity ’12. “It’s obviously financially motivated, but the undergraduate community was overwhelmingly in support of the Refectory staying on campus, overwhelmingly in favor of incurring further fees in order to keep them on campus.�

Board of Trustees passes conflict-free resolution The University will now use its power as a shareholder to encourage technology companies to crack down on conflict minerals.

In mid-June, the Board of Trustees adopted a new proxy voting guideline for the institution’s investments. The guideline, proposed by Coalition for a Conflict-Free Duke, stipulates that DUMAC—the firm that manages investments for the Duke University Endowment—support shareholder resolutions that call for reports on the policies and efforts of companies regarding their avoidance of conflict minerals.

Duke will be the second university to pass a shareholder resolution regarding conflict mineral trade, following Stanford University in 2010. “It’s always difficult to be the first person to start a movement, but at times it is more difficult to be the first

time to follow,â€? said junior Stefani Jones, founding member and chair of the CCFD board. “It’s a meaningful step that demonstrates Duke’s leadership and‌ willingness to think about human rights and social justice in a tangible way.â€?

The proposal had to pass through two committees—the President’s Special Committee on Investment Responsibility and the Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility—before it could be reviewed by the Board. The PSC unanimously supported the conflict minerals proposal in January and the ACIR approved it unanimously in April 26.

At the primary elections in early May, North Carolinians voted in favor of Amendment One 60 percent to 40 percent.

Now, marriage between one man and one woman is now the only domestic union recognized under the North Carolina constitution.

Durham County, however, bucked state trends, with 70 percent of voters casting ballots against the amendment.

Although same-sex marriage is already banned under a 1996 law, the amendment will define marriage as between one man and one woman in the state constitution.

Despite the landslide victory, movements to repeal the amendment on legal and social grounds are underway.

Opponents of the amendment say that the legislature and statewide vote do not represent the actual sentiments of the state.

Kimberly Jenkins, senior adviser to the president and provost for entrepreneurship and innovation, will leave her position after nearly two years at the helm of Duke’s major entrepreneurship initiatives, according to a Duke News release.

Jenkins, Trinity ’76, will leave the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiative, after personally developing the program and giving it a stronger presence in the Duke community.

There was no public indication that Jenkins would leave the initiative after spearheading the program.

“We agreed when I started that my role would be to help get this initiative off the ground, weave it into the mission of the University and assemble a team of great people to take it forward,” Jenkins said in the release. “We’re now in a great place and I’m excited to see how everyone at Duke will carry on this work.”

During her tenure, Jenkins oversaw the creation of Duke in Silicon Valley, an entrepreneurship-focused study away program. Student involvement in new ventures also grew with the development of InCube, an entrepreneurship-focused selective living group.

“Kimberly guided our innovation and entrepreneurship programs to a new level of visibility and enthusiasm with students, faculty and alumni, and posi-

tioned Duke to take a leadership role nationally,’’ Provost Peter Lange said in the release.

In May, the initiative received a $15 million gift from David Rubenstein, Trinity ’70 and vice chair of the Board of Trustees.

Jenkins and students involved in entrepreneurship were also invited to present to the Board at its May meeting. The meeting marks her third invitation to address the Board in the past 18 months.

Robert Calderbank, dean of the natural sciences at Trinity College of Arts and Science, will now take over as interim director of the initiative.

Calderbank, who has 25 patents to his name, plans to lead the initiative with other partners, including Howie Rhee, managing director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Fuqua School of Business, and invite new participants such as Eric Toone, Anne T. and Robert M. Bass professor of chemistry and biochemisty, who also lead to startups.

“There’s so much energy and activity now around entrepreneurship and innovation,” Calderbank said in the release.

“We’ve greatly expanded the opportunities for students to learn about this and try it out for themselves.... The wind is behind us and we’re going to keep this moving.”

BRODHEAD from page 7 with students, noting that he holds office hours every week or two and relishes the “daily interaction” with students, beyond just meetings with formal student groups.

“I like to go to things,” he added. “I like to go to plays, I like to go to sporting events, I like to go watch students do the things they care to do.”

A look at Brodhead’s connection with students is incomplete, however, without acknowledging the lacrosse scandal.

During his first term, the President was widely criticized for admonishing the lacrosse team before a verdict was reached in the case. Although Brodhead issued a formal apology in 2007, the his handling of the situation—along with actions of

fellow administrators—resulted in two ongoing lawsuits filed by members of the 2006 men’s lacrosse team against a variety of Duke administrators.

Global Initiatives Astrachan, along with other faculty members, noted the rise of global initiatives during Brodhead’s tenure, particularly citing his efforts regarding knowledge in the service of society such as Duke Engage. Academic Council Chair Susan Lozier said she looks forward to continuing to work with Brodhead on programs involving global health, energy and the environment.

Randall Kramer, Duke Global Health Institute deputy director, praised Brodhead for the creation of the Institute.

issues in Asia and Africa, I commend his efforts to further globalize the university,” Kramer, also a professor of environmental economics and global health, wrote in an email June 22. “During his presidency, Duke’s international reputation has grown considerably.”

Even with these successes abroad, the University’s recent global undertakings have not run entirely smoothly in recent years. The opening of Duke Kunshan University, originally scheduled for this coming fall, has been delayed twice and is now projected for Fall 2013, pending approval from the Chinese Ministry of Education and completion of construction. And in May, the Fuqua School of Business indefinitely suspended a new degree program scheduled to launch this summer in Dubai. The exact origins of these delays are not clear.

Looking Forward Many of the president’s priorities for his new term will directly influence students. In addition to the current capital campaign, Brodhead said focus will be on the renovations of “shared spaces”— Baldwin and Page Auditoriums and West Union—as well as developing the house model.

“It’s going to take a lot of collaborative effort to make it the source of community and home we want it to be,” he said.

Duke plans to expand into online education, including courses for credit and free courses available to the public, Brodhead said. Duke may collaborate

with other universities to offer the classes online .

Apart from courses simply offered online, Brodhead added that professors are continually incorporating online media into their classes, noting the uniqueness of the Link and the opportunities it provides for new forms of learning. “[It’s a] continual modification as we realize the educational benefits of online education,” he said. “[This is] one of the great moments of educational experimentation…. We want to participate in the experiment.”

Brodhead also noted the delays associated with DKU, citing the “writhing slowness of Chinese bureaucratic processes” as an obstacle, but said in the upcoming year the University will move closer to starting its first programs in China.

Faced with a changing world of higher education, the President will have to “provide a direction and a nimbleness” in order to handle challenges associated with funding and international collaboration, said Paul Haagen, professor of law and senior associate dean for academic affairs. Brodhead will be responsible for articulating the “Duke brand” and maneuvering the changes in education.

“The general trajectory of this University is so strongly forward and upward,” Brodhead said. “That’s what attracted me here in first place. I feel that trajectory has continued, not entirely thanks to me. If you love Duke, you know that this place is on its way somewhere.”

SEA LEVEL from page 8 in a century is unrealistic and policies made according to those predictions could hinder the coastal economy, NC-20 wrote in a June 12 press release.

“Thirty-nine inches in 90 years is more than five times the current rate of sea level rise for much of the NC coast,” the release said. “Thirty-nine inches of fake sea level rise would turn thousands of square miles into fake floodplains.”

The organization added that the cost of constructing roads, buildings and public and private infrastructure would escalate dramatically in response to elevated predictions. Heeding the suggestion of scientists would introduce the hidden cost of loss of additional

investment in coastal counties.

In response to a 3,000-signature petition from North Carolina residents to amend the bill, McElraft is working to redraft the bill and will present it before the House next week.

The revised bill will require the North Carolina Coastal Resource Commission to continue studying sea level rise for the 100 years after 2016. The state would not be allowed to make decisions based on the 39 inches prediction. The revision would also remove the provision mandating that sea level calculations be based solely on historical data.

“I don’t believe any scientist or group of scientists knows what will happen with sea level rise,” McElraft said. “In the ’70s the activists were crying it was return of the Ice Age—well, we saw that didn’t happen.”

ADMISS. from page 8 Guttentag noted that he expects the yield for those accepted off the wait list to be around 65 to 70 percent, a slight decrease from last year, when 75 percent of students decided to enroll for the Fall.

Although the class size is currently at approximately 1,733, Guttentag said he expects the number to decrease slightly because of a phenomenon known as summer melt. Many students choose to decline admission temporarily to take a gap year for academic or cultural reasons and occasionally for health concerns, adding that a small fraction of those who turn down an acceptance during the summer ultimately enroll in a different university.

Daniel Woldorff, an incoming freshman from North Carolina, was one of many students who decided to “melt� by taking a gap year after having been accepted off the wait list during his senior year. “I was burnt out from academics, which eventually led me to plan a trip to travel to Costa Rica and Nicaragua,� he said.

Duke’s yield numbers have traditionally been lower than those at other universities. Harvard University—which reinstated its early admission program last Fall—had a yield of 81 percent for the incoming freshmen class, a four percent increase from last year, according

THE CHRONICLE

to The Crimson, Harvard’s student newspaper. The University of Pennsylvania—like Duke— is also experiencing stagnant yield numbers. The yield for their Class of 2016 was approximately 63 percent for the fifth consecutive year, according to The Daily Pennsylvanian.

The Class of 2016 also boasts the greatest number of students of color—815 of the 1,733 enrolled freshmen identified themselves as such on their applications. These students will be joined by 164 international students.

Guttentag noted the increase in applicants from California and North Carolina, the latter experiencing a 12 percent rise in applicants this year. The incoming class will include 175 students from California and 174 from North Carolina. “Duke has worked hard to increase its visibility within North Carolina, and we’re happy to see that so many students and families have been receptive,�

Guttentag said.

Lily Zerihun, also an incoming freshman from North Carolina, cited the proximity of the University to her home as one of the reasons she wanted to enroll. “I wanted to stay closer to home for my undergraduate degree, which is partly by my parents’ influence,� she said. “It was pretty hard to shake the Duke pride you get from growing up in North Carolina.�

TAILGATE from page 11 securing a location for the event—has been completed, the committee is still in the logistical planning stages. “I am envisioning a nice, chill event where students will be throwing around frisbees, playing Cornhole and interacting with students we may not see on a daily basis,� she said. “We’re looking into getting student DJs at the new tailgate event.�

Swain noted that the student committee will hold several meetings throughout the next couple of months with staff from athletics, student affairs, groundskeeping and recreation to fine tune and hash out other details surrounding the event.

The word “tailgate,� which was buried last Fall by the administration, is being resurrected in the hopes that it will convey the word’s more traditional connotation. “The goal is to have the essence of ‘Tailgate’ go back to being a verb rather than a noun,� Sobb noted. “Tailgating is a time to get together with friends and have a good time, but as always the focus should be on the game.�

cancelled in Nov. 2010 after a minor, who was the younger sibling of a student, was found unconscious in a Porta Potty.

Football Gameday, adopted in Fall 2011, decentralized the event by having registered student groups host individual barbecues on the Main West Quadrangle in an effort to improve safety. “Gameday was not wellliked,� Schork said. “What the [Football Gameday] model lacked was a greater level of student ownership.�

The new tailgating model, Swain said, will adopt a tailgating team—a group of 20 to 25 students, who will essentially serve a similar purpose as line monitors by helping plan the events and create a vision of everyday tailgating to get University students excited for the football games. The addition of this student-led team will ensure that students have more autonomy with Tailgate.

She added that the selection of members for the team will begin in early August.

Similar to Football Gameday, New Tailgating will encourage registered student groups to host barbecues. A model for distributing food at the event, however, has not yet been solidified, Swain noted.

Larry Moneta, vice presi-

dent for student affairs, noted that in proposing new models for Gameday, students and administrators consulted other forms of tailgate activities at different universities, including Wake Forest University. “In the end, it’s important to find [a model] that is distinctive to Duke—one that will fundamentally serve as a building opportunity for the community and fit the community’s aspirations for the event,�

Moneta said.

The new tailgate event will follow the University’s regulation on alcohol, which stipulates a six-pack per person rule in addition to barring common distribution and shot glasses.

These policies, which were applied for Football Gameday, are the same ones implemented on the Last Day of Classes.

Both Moneta and Schork noted that it is critical that students comply with the pending new tailgating guidelines to ensure that it can continue to take place. “If all goes according to plan, it will be a great opportunity to get more students who usually do not attend football games to attend,� Schork said. “The idea is to have it be more about community and football and less about throwing beer cans.�

How to take the state Duke Democrats to

by Jack Mercola THE CHRONICLE

The economy, the economy and the economy.

Those are the issues that will be on North Carolina voters’ minds, said David Rohde, Ernestine Friedl professor of political science.

Although he said this claim was mildly facetious, Rohde’s view reflects those of other Duke faculty and North Carolina political observers. The Tar Heel State is in line with national data that suggests most voters will primarily consider the economic recovery and job creation at the voting booth.

“The economy is most important to people for good reason,” said Peter Ubel, John O. Blackburn professor of marketing at the Fuqua School of Business. “How can people get excited about clean energy policies, or even gun laws, when they don’t have a job?”

North Carolina’s unemployment rate—currently sitting at 9.4 percent— is more than 1 percent higher than the national rate. The state legislature has also made substantial budget cuts since Republicans took the majority in 2010.

A June 25 Rasmussen poll reported that only 39 percent of NC voters would rate their personal finances as good or excellent, and 38 percent of the state’s voters still report that their financial situation is worsening.

Supreme Court to decide fate of Obamacare Duke Med backs health care reform

by Danielle Muoio THE CHRONICLE

Despite controversy surrounding the passage of the Affordable Care Act, leaders from the Duke University Health System have stood behind the legislation.

Since March, the Supreme Court has been deciding the fate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which has implemented a variety of changes to increase health care affordability to the general population.

Representatives from Duke Medicine have predicted three likely outcomes of the decision: the Supreme Court could uphold the ACA and all its provisions, uphold the ACA but not the mandate provision or rule against the entirety of the ACA. The mandate provision would require all Americans to have health insurance or incur a $95 penalty fee.

“With health care accounting for over 18 percent of the GDP, everyone should be concerned—if

not marching in the streets—about costs,” said Nancy Short, chair of the Accelerated Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing Program at the Duke University School of Nursing. “It is an imperfect piece of legislation….

That does not mean that Congress can’t amend or address these imperfections thoughtfully.”

Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of Duke University Health System, said even if people disagree on specific aspects of the act, everyone agrees with the general principles behind the legislation.

“Every American—Republicans and Democrats—would agree that we want to provide better care at a more affordable cost and we want everybody to have access to care,” he said. “We should all work towards those main three goals—access, affordability and good quality.”

He noted the Supreme Court’s SEE HEALTH ON PAGE 8

*THIS ISSUE WENT TO PRESS PRIOR TO THE SCOTUS RULING

The highly anticipated Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare will change the course of health care, but it may not change voters’ minds in the November elections.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to rule June 28 on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was presented before the justices in March. The decision will affect millions of Americans who may be compelled to purchase health insurance, as well as those who will benefit from protections against insurance discrimination and the extension of coverage for youth on their parents’ health care plans.

“It has metastasized into one of the culture wars, like abortion,” said Neil Siegel, professor of law and political science. “I hope the court avoids being partisan and fractured like American politics.”

The reach of the Supreme

Court’s ruling, however, may not significantly affect voters’ attitudes toward the presidential candidates, because voters will be more concerned about the economy than about constitutional arguments when they head to the polls, said Michael Munger, professor of political science and economics.

The Supreme Court is examining the ACA and specifically the mandate provision, which would require all Americans to obtain health insurance or be penalized $95. Among its many provisions, the Act will expand Medicaid to 16 million more Americans, raising the number of insured Americans by 32 million by 2020, said Frank Sloan, J. Alexander McMahon professor of health policy and management and professor of economics.

If deemed constitutional, the health care reform will also prohibit insurance companies from SEE LEGAL ON PAGE 15

Durham builds reputation as food mecca

by Margot Tuchler THE CHRONICLE

When Damion Moore got fed up with the volatility at the telecommunications company where he worked in Research Triangle Park, he decided to cook for a living.

Now he is the chef, owner and namesake of Dame’s Chicken and Waffles on Main Street, where it is hard to get a seat without a considerable wait most nights of the week.

Moore is one of a host of Durham chefs whose entrepreneurial approach to food has found a significant audience. Over the course of the last decade, Durham’s food scene has blossomed, gaining recognition from The New York Times and Bon Appetit magazine as a go-to destination for foodies.

“It’s exploded,” Moore said. “Durham is prospering. It’s a thriving city, downtown life is coming on board, we’re getting acknowledged nationally as a foodie town.

Confidence breeds more confidence.... It’s great for the city and great for the state.”

Dame’s Chicken and Waffles

Claudia Kemmet-Cooper, founder and owner of Guglhupf Bakery, Patisserie and Cafe, dabbled with a career in GermanyU.S. trade relations after her family moved from Germany to Washington, D.C. She opened her bakery in 1998, a time when she said downtown Durham was “dead.”

Numerous chefs shared similar views of downtown Durham in the early 1990s, but all agreed that Durham as a whole is developing.

One of the first noteworthy entrants in the Durham restaurant scene was Magnolia Grill, which opened in 1986 and closed its doors this May. Many chefs who worked with Magnolia’s chef-owners Karen and Ben Barker went on to open their own restaurants, said Jim Anile, chef and owner of Revolution, an upscale contemporary global restaurant in downtown Durham.

“Great chefs before us like Ben Barker at Magnolia Grill have carved the way for us,” said Shane Ingram, chef and owner of Four Square restaurant.

Ingram, who has worked with renowned chefs such as Emeril Lagasse and Charlie Trotter and has experience working all over the country, opened Four Square with his wife in 1999. He said Durham’s farming community is one of the best assets for the restaurant industry. “[The farmers] genuinely care about their products and the community, too,” he said. “Every single time I buy, they’ll make sure the chickens have had a good life.”

He noted that in addition to the quality of local farms, Durham’s restaurant industry continues to develop thanks to the clientele.

great restaurants arrive, they support them, and it’s because of their support that more keep opening.”

The intrepid nature of these customers fuels the food scene, Kemmet-Cooper said. “[The clientele is] very adventurous,” she said. “They’re well-traveled, educated, not afraid of Korean food or Ethiopian food. You name it, they’ll try it.”

Sam Poley, director of marketing and communications at the Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau and founder of Only Burger, said Durham’s entrepreneurial spirit can be traced back to its origins as a Native American trading post, to after the Civil War when Washington Duke walked back to his family home and began selling tobacco to make a living, through the development of the Duke family fortune.

“That authenticity is organic to Durham,” Poley said. “It’s an old thread.... It’s sort of indebted to people who work with their hands [and] want quality for their investment.”

Durham was a vibrant city until the latter half of the 20th century, Poley said,

Magnolia Grill

Guglhupf Bakery

when the blue collar economy transitioned into a white collar one. Durham was a “ghost town” when Poley moved to the city in 1992. The restaurant scene has flourished along with the city’s revitalization since then.

This culinary renaissance was fueled in part by the increased availability of locally sourced ingredients and the growth of the Durham Farmers Market, Kemmet-Cooper said.

Even after the growth of the last decade, Anile said Durham is not done progressing yet.

“Nothing is stagnant, ideas aren’t stagnant, the process is always looking upward,” he said. “You’re always combing new ideas and old ideas and traditions and influence and expectations from all over the board.”

The intrigue of Durham has made Kemmet-Cooper more than happy to stay put.

“It just walks to a different beat,” she said. “It has just enough grunge to make it right.... I don’t want to be in Chapel Hill. I don’t want to be in Cary.... In North Carolina, I really wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

NC accelerates heart attack care

by Ashley Mooney and Danielle Muoio THE CHRONICLE

Duke University’s success in improving heart attack treatment in North Carolina will be emulated in other parts of the country.

In 2005, Duke medical researchers designed the RACE-ER program to coordinate and accelerate heart attack treatment in hospitals across North Carolina. Since its expansion in 2008, RACE-ER has helped health care facilities reduce the time between first contact with a patient and treatment by 12 minutes—an approximate 10 percent reduction in time, Dr. Christopher Granger, Duke cardiologist and RACE-ER founding member, wrote in an email June 20.

The researchers who launched the program recently published a study documenting its effectiveness.

“We are fortunate in North Carolina to be setting the example for other people across the nation on not only how to improve heart attack care, but also cardiac arrest care as well,” said Lisa Monk, co-author of the study and project leader at the Duke Clinical Research Institute.

After witnessing the success of the program, The American Heart Association has used RACE-ER as a model for their national program, Mission Lifeline, which focuses on the prompt treatment of acute heart attack care,

Monk said.

RACE-ER focuses on improving the speed and efficiency of treatment for heart attack patients. This includes equipping and training paramedics to diagnose heart attacks, creating a plan to communicate the results to the right hospitals, taking patients to the most appropriate hospitals and assuring teams are ready for patient arrival, Granger said.

Increased paramedic training devoted to reading an EKG—a device that measures the electrical activity of the heart—has greatly improved heart attack care, Monk noted.

“It’s so important [to train paramedics] because if they can read an EKG and see it’s a heart attack, they can pre-notify the hospital that they are coming in with that heart attack patient... so that the team is ready to go,” she said.

The North Carolina program involves 119 hospitals—21 of which are large percutaneous coronary intervention centers—and more than 540 EMS agencies, Monk said.

PCI, formerly known as angioplasty, is currently the best available treatment for heart attacks, Granger said.

It involves inflating a balloon in the artery to push back blockages.

Genetics lab to enhance marine research

by Julian Spector THE CHRONICLE

Duke will break ground July 30 on the first new research building at the Duke University Marine Lab since the 1970s.

The $6.75 million, 12,000 sq.-ft. Orrin Pilkey Marine Sciences and Conservation Genetics Center will open Fall 2013 with new lab space designated for genetic marine science. The designs incorporate concerns such as sea level rise and hurricanes, and may receive LEED platinum certification for sustainable building practices. The Board of Trustees approved the construction at its meeting in May. The building was paid for by donations from the Oak Foundation—a philanthrop-

ic entity that supports non-profits grappling with global social and environmental issues—and chemical oceanographer Philip Froelich, Trinity ’68, and his wife Kathy. The Froelichs proposed naming it after Pilkey, a marine geologist with special interest in coastal areas and James B. Duke professor emeritus of geology.

“The most powerful new tool for understanding marine conservation is genetics,” said Bill Chameides, dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment. “It’s time for us to make a commitment to our ability to stay out in front in the marine sciences.”

Genetic research enables scientists to track the movements and activities of marine populations, Chameides said. For in-

Great Great Pay Pay G Great reat Hour Hours s Great Great Job Job

stance, scientists can use genetics to track the migrations of bluefin tuna between Atlantic and European fisheries, and determine if the two populations mix or return home to breed. If the genetic makeup between the groups mixes, then European conservation measures will directly affect the Atlantic population and vice versa.

The marine lab—a division of the Nicholas School—currently holds some molecular research facilities, but the new building offers more lab space with greater electrical capacity for the molecular tools, said Marine Lab Director Cindy Van Dover, Harvey Smith professor of biological oceanography.

“It’s really an opportunity to bring our science into the future and allows us to expand our faculty,” Van Dover said. “We’re doing molecular work in the old labs but we need a larger space than what we currently have.”

Pilkey, whom Chameides described as “a shining light” of the Nicholas School, has focused his recent work on how rising sea levels affect beaches. Fittingly, the building’s design addresses the threat of sea level rise in the coming decades, Van Dover noted. A worst case scenario predicts six to seven feet of sea level rise in the next 100 years, with storm surge rising beyond those levels. Planners chose to situate the building at a spot on the south side of the island, formerly home to a trailer dormitory, because it was a high point on the island.

The research lab will occupy the second floor to protect the expensive equipment from flooding, like a house on stilts, Van Dover said. The ground floor will hold offices, conference rooms, a teaching laboratory and a commons area, which can all be cleared out quickly in case of flooding.

Obamney on the issues the economy Barack Obama

Mitt Romney

health care

higher education

same-sex marriage

Obama has decreased income and payroll taxes for 95 percent of working families, and vows to continue the downward tax trend for the middle class. He plans to invest in clean-energy sources and create jobs.

The goal: to provide health insurance for 95 percent of Americans under 65, and save $127 billion in federal health spending over the next nine years through Obamacare.

Higher ed. should be available to all Americans,which can be achieved through improved student loans. Education is one solution to the nation’s economic hardships.

Obama recently changed his position on gay marriage, saying that all should be allowed to marry regardless of gender.

Romney plans to cut government spending but maintain programs like Medicare and Social Security. He will equalize taxes for all income levels, limit government regulation, and create private sector jobs.

Obamacare is an example of government control over the health care industry. Instead, give states the power to regulate insurance markets, and reduce costs by regulating malpractice suits and promoting health care purchasing pools.

A supporter of lowering rate extensions on student loans, he also supports the Ryan budget, which cuts spending for the National Institute of Health and the National Science Foundation.

Marriage is between a man and a woman, and this should be codified in the constitution.

“Obama set some goals, failed to achieve them and spent $5 trillion in the process.”

—Fuqua professor Meghan Lockwood

“At the root of the problem is that people do not want to subsidize others’ health care. [But] no one want to admit he or she is selfish.”

—Fuqua professor Dr. Peter Ubel

“While there’s a rhetoric around the evils of federal dollars going to universities, when it comes to making decisions, there is pretty broad bipartisan support for those efforts.”

—VP for Federal Relations Chris Simmons

“Gay marriage can bring out ‘the base’…. Each candidate has a delicate balancing act of energizing the base without turning off swing voters.”

—Ubel

This course will examine the changes in capitalism since 1945 through a critical appraisal of the new Marxist theories that develop during this period. We will pay special attention to those thinkers who draw upon Marx texts largely unavailable to earlier generations -- such as the Grundrisse, or The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 -- in order to unsettle established orthodoxies and develop concepts adequate to the period. In this regard, our goal will be to understand Marxism as a living theory, shaped by the very historical dynamics to which it must respond.

HEALTH from page 1 main challenge will be whether they should pass the mandate, which would require everyone to have health insurance, a passage that Dzau supports.

Although Americans are still witnessing the “evolving” effects of the act, patients have certainly benefited since the ACA’s passage, said Short, who is also a senior research fellow with the Health Inequalities Program at the Sanford School of Public Policy.

Short noted that the option for young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance plan until age 26 positively affects Duke students and the general population. Prior to the act, adults could only stay on their parents’ insurance until they were 18 or 21 if they were in school. As a result, adults ages 18 to 24 were

widely known to be the least insured population in the United States, a statistic that has changed since the Act’s legislation, she added.

Patients also indirectly benefit from the increased funding provided for comparative effectiveness research, she said.

“The Act has stimulated a sea of change from the ‘gold standard’ of all research being randomized control trials to increased interest in comparative effectiveness research,” Short said. “[This] asks not only if the treatment… works, but also if the treatment… works better than what is already out there.”

The ACA was also successful in diminishing the ‘doughnut hole’—the period between coverage for prescription medication, said Dr. Robert Califf, vice chancellor for clinical and translational research and director of the Duke Translational Medicine Institute.

Short noted her support for the Act and

mandate, adding that organized nursing— which includes the American Nurses Association, American Academy of Nursing and American Association of Colleges of Nursing—supports the ACA in its entirety.

Califf voiced his support for the act, but added that it is unknown if what is passed will be effectively implemented.

“The way laws get written is that there is a law, but a lot of what actually happens is dependent on how the government organization actually operates the law,” he said.

An ‘imperfect’ piece of legislation Although representatives from DUHS have shown overwhelming support for all aspects of the ACA, they admit there are aspects of the legislation that need work.

The ACA is supposed to be coupled with reforms in order to bring down costs, Califf said, but these reforms are not guaranteed. It will also take a couple of years to see if the Act can be financially viable.

“Everything has to kick in together for this to work. Otherwise, with increased coverage, everything stays the same and it just causes a big deficit,” Califf said.

A classic quandary with health care is that Americans want both high quality and immediate health care without any tax increases, Short said, making it difficult to strike a balance. Still, she attributed the Act’s unclear financial model as a negative aspect of the legislation.

Short added that the “extreme” partisan nature of Congress is what birthed imperfections in the Act and will prevent changes from being made.

The main problem with the ACA is figuring out how to pay for it, Dzau said, but he believes providing insurance opportunities for everyone will be a good thing in the long run.

“It’s not easy to implement, but if we don’t take this situation or opportunity,

we are not going to get what we want, which is better health care at an affordable cost,” he said.

Medical ramifications The ruling will greatly impact the general population, Short said. Currently, insurers are unable to deny coverage to patients with preexisting conditions, a provision that would go away if the Supreme Court were to rule against the mandate.

She added that if the Supreme Court were to rule against the entire act, several centers would be left unfunded, such as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, and several states would not create health insurance exchanges.

“The Act has already permanently changed the conversation about health care delivery and health care,” Short said. “Patients are just beginning to see some benefits.”

Despite the Act’s patient focus, the ACA affects physicians as well, Califf said.

The biggest change in medical care is that more private practices are beginning to disappear, either making long-term contracts with health systems or being employed by them, he said. Although this trend began before the ACA, this pattern of disappearing private practices has continued with its passage and could continue depending on the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Califf said it is unclear as to whether this is a good or bad change. In a private practice, a physician has his or her own equity, meaning it is run like a small business. On one hand, this requires a doctor to be highly innovative to run the best practice, but on the other hand, a physician may be incentivized to do things—such as run unnecessary tests—to make money.

“As an employee, you might be less incentivized to do things just to make money and… you have a better information system,” Califf said. “So there are the two sides of the coin.”

How well did leading news organizations understand and explain the nature of the crisis and the government’s responses? Was coverage affected by the simultaneous meltdown of some news organizations’ finances? What can we conclude about the performance of journalism in informing and educating the public, holding executives and officials accountable, representing the human story of struggle, hardship and inequality?

Do Universities Do?

MW 1:25-2:40, Clotfelter Are universities the engine of economic growth, the mechanism for reproducing the ruling class, or just a summer camp with classes attached? Although we might think we know all about universities because we attend one or work at one, chances are our perspectives are limited or biased. This seminar explores what goes on in universities and what the consequences are for students and society. Topics include time use, industrial organization, the university as an organization, aims of higher education, branding, values, grade inflation, learning, technology of teaching, and sports.

and Regulation TTH 10:05-11:20, Hamoudi Applies tools from welfare economics, information economics, and mechanism design in order to analyze public policy problems in the context of asymmetric information and strategic behavior. Applications include: financial regulation, private and social insurance, corruption and accountability, provision of public goods, and others. Requires previous exposure to intermediate microeconomics (including basic game theory), and reasonable comfort with the mathematics of constrained optimization.

PUBPOL 674.01

Media and Democracy

TTH 10:05-11:20, Mickiewicz This course examines the relationship between mass media and democracy mainly in the United States and as a part of American foreign policy making and implementation. It begins with a discussion of elections, in which the media, both “old” and “new” play an enormous role. We also discuss the way that both government and other institutions compete to set the issue agenda for the American public.

“Framing” is central to the process by which certain interpretations of news events are targeted to different publics. Media and national security continue to display a constant tension and a history of revising the rules governing censorship and the press during military conflict. The economics of media have certainly gained center stage: the Internet and the cell phone; the “old” media and dying newspapers are all in the process of swift and profound change, while the public has become fragmented.

PUBPOL 677S.01 Federal

Program Accountability

MW 3:05-4:20, Cohen Follows a federal spending or regulatory program from inception through implementation. Research of primary records, including state and local governments, and standard federal sources of primary documents, to compare performance with expectations. GIS and other visualization techniques to analyze program implementation. Website creation to detail program performance.

This course was conceived in response to the recent uprising in Nor th Africa and West Asia, but we are interested in an array of investigations, including how feminism has fought for various forms of freedom, scrutinized its historical emergence, and deployed the term in a variety of discursive contexts.

Also relevant are anti-feminist dimensions of freedom projects. The focus will be on transnational, intersectional, and interdisciplinary research and film that take[s]an innovative approach to understanding the social, political, economic, and cultural implications of freedom. Par ticipants in the course will include Jeanette Jouili, a cultural anthropologist of Tunisian background who was trained in Europe and works on gender and racial and cultural politics of/and around African and Muslim immigrants; Clare Counihan, who works on feminism and fiction from/ set in subsaharan Africa. Also par ticipating is Ellen McLarney, a professor of Arabic literature and culture at Duke, Ayla Samli, a cultural anthropologist visiting at Wake Forest next year who works on Turkey, as well as Zakia Salime, a sociologist at Rutgers who works on women’s movements in Morocco, as well as international development projects focused on women’s empowerment.

MARINE from page 6 New York-based architects and construction managers Peter Gluck and Partners designed the building exterior to withstand corrosion from salty coastal air, high humidity, high wind speeds and hurricane-borne debris, project architect Stacie Wong wrote in an email June 26.

The goal for the building is a LEED platinum rating, Van Dover said. Platinum is the highest level of certification offered by the U.S. Green Building Council for sustainable design, construction and operation. The project will certainly earn at least a LEED silver rating and it will be reasonable to aim for a gold rating, she added.

Key sustainability features include drought tolerant landscaping to eliminate the need for a permanent irrigation system, geothermal heating and cooling and use of materials produced within 500 miles, Wong said.

The Marine Lab offers students a close-knit island community and a high degree of student interaction with faculty, Van Dover said. The communal area on the ground floor will serve this goal as a “collisional commons” where researchers and students can interact.

“You can sit next to someone and enjoy the view and start chatting about something and you’re off on a new idea,” Van Dover said.

Pilkey was giving a talk at the Marine Lab when the Board met and approved the naming of the building. One of the students in the audience saw an email announcing the decision and walked up to congratulate him after the talk.

“It came as a complete surprise to me, it really did,” he said.

The University’s support for the Marine Lab comes at a crucial moment, Pilkey said. Marine environments will be hit especially hard by global warming, in the form of sea level rise, acidification and warming waters.

“Marine labs are going to really be center points of research on the future of our oceans,” he said. “The changes that are going to occur here are going to be vast. Duke is making a commitment to the future of the world’s oceans, and that’s wonderful.”

Donor Philip Froelich studied marine geology as a student of Pilkey at the Marine Lab in the 1960s and then joined him for a year of research in Puerto Rico. When Pilkey first met Froelich, the student seemed “very bright but very bored.”

Then Froelich, who was not available to comment in time for publication, applied his chemistry studies to the ocean, and set off on a career of chemical oceanography. He now serves as a member of the Nicholas School board of visitors.

“As soon as [Froehlich] found the ocean, he found his way and never looked back,” Pilkey said.

WST 290S.05 Gendering Migration in the Diasporas: Mapping personal and collective landscapes of feminism and identity in the Global South Lindah Mhando (Visiting Assistant Professor in History) WF 10:05 - 11:20 AM This course invites us to take a peek through diverse theoretical lenses as we entertain multiple complexities and contradictions in women’s lives. Most of us believe that the cross-border movement of people is the heart of contemporary globalization and of multicultural societies. Not long ago, gender and feminist scholars sounded a clarion call to make gender central to studies of immigration. These scholars began to ask and address important questions like, How are global inequalities beginning with colonialism, immigrants’ decisions to migrate, their new household set-up, men’s and women’s identities, and the second-generation’s fates, gendered? The aim of this course is to introduce students to the various ways diasporic migration as well as formations and experiences are gendered. The course will address both the social, economic and political dimensions of migration and the diasporas as well as issues related to identity construction, cultural productions and imaginations.

CONVENTION from page 1 state politics and gives back through local volunteering,” said sophomore David Winegar, president of Duke Democrats.

Winegar and senior Elena Botella, former president of Duke Democrats and current president of College Democrats of NC, will attend the College Democrats of America National Convention in Charlotte, the official youth event at the convention, along with other members of the student organization. Students will volunteer, participate in open events and watch Obama’s acceptance speech at the convention, Winegar said.

Botella was selected to serve as one of the 5556 delegates that will discuss Democratic party affairs and campaigning and, on the third day of the convention, vote to renominate Obama.

“My primary goal as a delegate will be to ensure that the platform crafted by the Democratic Party reflects what are my core values,” Botella said. “Primarily, my belief that a just society requires that everyone be treated with dignity and provided with opportunity.”

Support for Obama remains strong among the youth of North Carolina despite claims that the incumbent president is losing ground, Botella said.

A June 12 poll conducted by Public Policy Polling found that Obama remains the clear favorite for NC voters

aged 18 to 29, leading Romney in the youngest demographic by 16 points.

Such youth support could stem from Obama’s progressive record on issues— such as marriage equality and promoting affordability of college tuition— which are popular with and relevant to young voters, Winegar said.

Volunteer engagement for the Obama campaign in 2012 has so far surpassed the historic levels in 2008, Botella said, adding that support for Obama will increase as the president continues to reach out to moderates in the coming months.

“The work of the Obama campaign and of College Democrats will be to make sure as many students know about Obama’s record as possible,” Botella said.

It will be difficult for students to access the convention without credentials because the Charlotte police will likely bar both protesters and supporters from getting within several blocks, said Michael Munger, professor of political science and economics.

But given that the nominees for both parties have already been determined and publicized, the convention will not serve as much political purpose as it did when it was created, he added.

“We’ve moved democracy from the convention back to January,” Munger said. “For the people at the convention, they can wear funny hats and drink too much.”

LEGAL from page 1 charging women higher rates for coverage than men and refusing coverage to those with preexisting conditions, said Walton Robinson, communications director for the North Carolina Democratic Party.

Neither Obama nor prospective Republican nominee Mitt Romney, however, are planning to emphasize the health care issue during the presidential campaign, Munger said.

“Voters don’t care about the decision,” Munger said.

“It’s a constitutional issue, not a partisan issue. This election is about the economy—if unemployment doesn’t improve, [President Barack] Obama will lose anyway.”

Obama will likely focus on Congress in his campaign, attributing the lack of accomplishments during his first term to the partisan divide, Munger said. Romney cannot criticize the health care reform because he implemented a similar program in Massachusetts.

“Obamacare is just the national version of Romneycare,” Munger said.

But young adults who stand to benefit from the legislation may respond politically. Sophomore David Winegar, co-president of Duke Democrats, said the provision allowing young adults to remain on their parents’ health insurance until age 26 will drive the youth vote to support Obama.

This provision has already benefitted 95,000 young adults in the state, Robinson said.

The candidates may also avoid the health care issue because both parties have expanded the power of the federal government under the Commerce Clause—the provision of the constitution that allows Congress to regulate interstate commerce—Munger noted. The Supreme Court will look to the Commerce Clause to determine if the federal government can require citizens to purchase health insurance.

If the Supreme Court strikes down the individual mandate clause under the Commerce Clause, Congress could potentially pass the same health care legislation as a tax rather than a penalty. Although this would be constitutional, whether there will be enough political support to pass such a law remains uncertain, Siegel said.

Alternatively, if the Commerce Clause is redefined by the Court in determining the constitutionality of the mandate, the government will have to spend time and money altering existing statutes, which will be harmful for both parties, Munger said.

Legal ramifications Although the political consequences of the ruling are uncertain, the legal ramifications are monumental, Siegel said.

Since the Great Depression, the Supreme Court has maintained a deferential position to Congress in cases where federal laws are accused of being unconstitutional, Siegel said. The health care reform act, which determines the federal government’s power to enforce multi-state regulations, presents one of the most significant Supreme Court rulings since the 1930s in terms of defining Congress’s enumerated powers.

Despite the significant political involvement in the case, the Court will remain objective and impervious to external pressures in making its decision, Munger said.

“They do not perceive political pressure, they perceive disapproval,” Munger said. “The paradox of the Supreme Court is that the less power they use, the more power they have.”

Yet the Court’s decision could still be perceived as partisan, especially given the political tendencies of the nine justices, Siegel said. Four of the sitting justices are liberal and five are conservative.

Any decrease in the Court’s legitimacy, if the decision is perceived to be partisan, will be neutralized by the widespread public desire to overturn the legislation and the ambiguity of the law, Siegel added.

“No matter what the court does it will always have support and critics,” Siegel said. “The law and the provisions of the law are sufficiently controversial—the court’s legitimacy is not at stake.”

For the past two years, legal commentators from both parties have maintained a broad consensus that the health care reform act is constitutionally sound, Siegel said. Not all the justices seem to share this opinion, however.

“The Libertarian objection to the mandate seems to have captured the conservative imagination, including that of Justice Kennedy,” Siegel said. “But the overwhelming majority of legal commentators, including conservatives, still think the law is constitutional in every regard.”

creation and the economy, but they have not come to a consensus on which candidate they think would best solve the state’s and nation’s economic issues, according to recent poll data. A June 25 poll from Rasmussen reported Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate, leading by three points—proving that North Carolina is still a swing state.

Romney has a sizable lead in North Carolina when it comes to economic issues. The poll also showed that 52 percent of the state’s voters thought Romney would do a better job managing the economy, while only 40 percent thought President Barack Obama would be better. With this gap, Obama would benefit from focusing voters’ attention on social issues, an area where is he far more progressive than his opponent, Ubel noted.

“Every day the Obama team finds a way to focus the campaign on other issues—like gay marriage and immigration—is a successful day for their campaign,” he said.

Despite North Carolinians’ 44 percent approval of Romney’s business background and economic policies, another 39 percent of voters see his privatesector experience as a primary reason to vote against him.

“If information keeps coming to public attention about Romney’s history with Bain Capital, he could take a major stumble in the polls,” said Pope McCorkle, visiting lecturer of public policy studies.

Due to neck-and-neck polling and both candidates’ general adherence to their political parties’ standard platforms, swing voters and voter turnout will be majorly important in North Carolina, Ubel noted.

While Obama tries to emphasize his progressive stance on social issues, Romney will need to woo independent voters by reminding them of the economic disappointments that were forged under the Obama administration in the past term, McCorkle said.

Rob Lockwood, communications director of the North Carolina Republican Party, added that the GOP will implement strategies from the midterm elections that appealed to voters whose economic woes were not remedied by Obama’s first-term policies.

“What we did in 2010 was very successful,” he said. “People are very upset with Barack Obama in North Carolina, and they’re looking for an alternative— that’s the Republican party.”

In 2008, Obama won 365 electoral votes nationally, more than doubling his then-opponent, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. With 15 electoral votes, North Carolina had typically been a prize for the GOP until Obama turned it blue.

He broke a seven-election GOP winning streak in the state and won North Carolina by less than 1 percent.

“This year, Romney has to win North Carolina,” McCorkle noted. “If Romney loses North Carolina, you can pretty well bet that it’s over. Romney has got to take North Carolina back from Obama.”

HEART from page 5 the amount of heart muscle saved during surgery and mortality rates, Granger said.

As a result of RACE-ER, mortality has dropped from about 6.9 to 5.7 percent.

STEMI Heart Attacks Although RACE-ER strives to treat all heart attacks, it has focused largely on STEMI heart attacks—the deadliest form of heart attack that results from total blockage of a major artery, Dr. Robert Califf, vice chancellor for clinical and translational research, wrote in an email June 21.

Physicians rely on PCI to treat patients with STEMI heart attacks. By diagnosing patients who need STEMI surgery in the field, medical workers can transport patients to those medical centers that provide this more advanced surgery.

“The heart muscle dies rapidly and every minute sooner the artery is opened reduces the amount of dead heart muscle,” he said. “Less dead heart muscle equates to better pumping function of the heart and lower risk of a sudden arrhythmia that can cause sudden death— in short longer life and less heart failure.”

STEMI affects about 300,000 people each year, according to the American

Heart Association.

Califf, who also serves as director of the Duke Translational Medicine Institute, noted that Duke and the RACE-ER program have had a major role in extending the lives of patients who experience STEMI heart attacks.

“One of the greatest thrills of my life is that when I started as a cardiologist we had no way to treat this problem and now we have slick devices and drugs that save lives,” Califf said. “It used to be routine to watch people die with no recourse. Now... four out of 10 people who would have died in the first year of my career walk out alive!”

A hotbed for heart attacks The southeastern United States, including North Carolina, is a high-risk area for stroke, diabetes and cardiovascular death, Califf said.

“Without a doubt the high fat, high carb, high calorie [and] high salt diet— in short Bojangles and sweet tea—plays a key role,” Califf said.

Despite RACE-ER’s current success in improving cardiac arrest care, more can be done to improve time between diagnosis and treatment. As health professionals deliver more treatment in the field, survival will still come down to patients and their families dialing 911 in a timely manner, Califf said.

CLASSIFIEDS ANNOUNCEMENTS HARASSMENT OF ANY KIND, including sexual harassment, is unacceptable at Duke.

Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination and also prohibited by Title IX, a federal law that prohibits discrimination based upon gender. Discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, gender or age is prohibited by law and Duke policy.

about what Duke wants from its vendors: an adherence to commission rates or student affordability? If the Refectory was already too expensive, why should administrators be satisfied with extending its contract at a higher commission and letting prices increase even further?

If affordability stood above all other concerns, then renewing the Refectory’s contract should not have been a possibility in the first place.

The argument that students did not support the Refectory is also quite invalid, especially if one asks undergraduates. Upon reading the news that the Refectory may close, students took to Facebook, starting a “Keep the Refectory” page with more than 10,000 likes. Duke Stu-

dent Government sponsored a poll of undergraduates, to which 80 percent of respondents said they would be willing to pay a dining fee to keep it. Divinity School students may not support the Refectory at the same level, but, in light of their school’s prime West Campus location and proximity to other vendors, the notion that their opinions matter more holds little water.

It makes sense that Duke would not agree to extend a lower commission for the Refectory. The 15 percent commission rate was already being paid by some, if not all, other vendors on campus, making it unfair for the Refectory to pay a lower commission and enjoy higher revenue. But this view

discounts the other positive effects the Refectory has on campus. As the University’s first green cafe, the Refectory brought local, sustainable dining to students and employees. The sense of community within the Refectory was unparalleled in other campus restaurants, something Duke dining cannot expect a new vendor to duplicate, at least not in the short run.

Looking from a financial standpoint, a 10 percent cut from a highly successful eatery may be better for Duke Dining’s bottom line than 15 percent from a mediocre one.

Nonetheless, the Divinity School Refectory provided an irreplaceable experience for the Duke community. It will be missed.
