DKU takes next step to opening

Sliding into freshman year

Chinese govt. gives preliminary approval

by Tiffany Lieu THE CHRONICLE

Student leaders are mobilizing for a politically charged campus this Fall.

Duke’s student political organizations are ramping up their efforts to register students to vote and raise awareness about key issues in the Nov. 6 elections. Additionally, Duke Student Government is collaborating with several groups to host nonpartisan programs to encourage students to exercise their right to vote.

“The goal is to make things less chaotic on campus and be sharper about the information and message that we put out,” Derek Rhodes, vice president of Durham and Regional Affairs, wrote in an email Wednesday.

Organizations at Duke are partnering in a nonpartisan effort to increase student involvement in the elections and registering them to vote. Rhodes, a sophomore, added that the new partnership will better facilitate voter awareness and avoid overwhelming students with fliers and hyperpartisan, contrasting information, which occurred during the May primaries.

Participating groups include DSG, Duke Democrats, Duke College Republicans, Duke Political Union, Duke the Vote, Duke Partnership for Service, the Black Student Alliance and the New Voters Project—an organization unaffiliated with Duke dedicated to registering young people to vote.

In addition to the coalition’s debut, Rhodes confirmed that there will be an oncampus early voting site, similar to what was offered during the primary elections. He collaborated with the Durham County Board of Elections and Duke administrators—such as Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, and Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations— this past summer to bring the voting site to campus.

Despite the convenience of the voting site for the Duke community, securing an on-campus early voting site was a challenging process, Rhodes said. Costs associated with coordinating parking, accessibility, safety and renting space for the voting site raised concerns about the overall benefit of the program.

“It’s going to be very important that students take advantage of the on-campus voting site,” Rhodes said. “It determines whether the Board of Elections and our administrators are willing to take the risk and consume the cost of a site in the future.”

Several months after submitting a proposal, Duke has received preliminary approval from the Chinese Ministry of Education to move forward with its new campus in Kunshan, China.

Administrators learned of Duke Kunshan University’s approval earlier this week and received an official letter Thursday, said Provost Peter Lange. DKU still requires final approval from the Ministry of Education, which Lange said should come in time for the campus to open to students in the 2013 academic year.

DKU is required to have Ministry of Education approval before opening up its doors, and getting preliminary approval allows Duke to move forward with academic and administrative planning. Administrators can also start to create specific strategies for recruiting students and faculty, but it is still under discussion whether or not DKU will be able to recruit before receiving final approval.

“We can move ahead more aggressively with planning, with thinking about the exact programs we’re going to put in,” Lange said.

Students flock to Au Bon Pain

by Andrew Luo THE CHRONICLE

If on-campus demand remains high, Au Bon Pain may soon be open 24 hours a day for Duke students.

The national bakery and cafe chain, which opened a location in the Bryan Center last Friday, has experienced booming sales during its first week in business. Currently open from 7am to midnight, Au Bon Pain offers sandwiches, soups, salads and pastries that are baked fresh every morning.

“The reception we’ve received so far has been really positive,” said Nick Sandilands, general manager at Au Bon Pain. “Everyone has been commenting on our food and the appearance of the cafe.”

Sandilands said he arrived on campus earlier in July to hire staff and oversee the construction of the cafe, which is built in the spot formally occupied by Alpine Atrium. The restaurant sets itself apart because of its empha-

Conference draws spy enthusiasts to Raleigh

Duke Faculty Outings extended to full year

by Margot Tuchler

THE CHRONICLE

Opportunities for student-faculty interaction for upperclassmen will soon extend beyond the FLUNCH program.

The Faculty Outings program, previously held during orientation week for first-year students, will be offered to upperclassmen throughout the course of the year. The initiative to expand the program came from students in Tony Brown’s class Public Policy 144S “Social Entrepreneurship in Action” held last Spring, junior Emily Jorgens wrote in an email Aug. 16. Professors involved in the program coordinate off-campus activities with small groups of students.

Outings currently in the works include a pool party, a cooking class and mini-golf.

“Faculty and students interact all the time in the context of academics, but faculty and students would also benefit... from opportunities to interact casually outside of an academic context,” said Dean of Undergraduate Education Steve Nowicki. “That is really value added to coming to a place like Duke where we have such a rich community.”

Jorgens is coordinating the program with senior Bill Hoch and sophomore Tori Cohen.

Jorgens said the first outing will take place on Sept. 7. Six professors have committed to lead outings for the first time, including Sonke Johnsen, associate professor of biology and Karen Murphy, senior lecturing fellow for psychology and neuroscience.

Johnsen, who will lead the mini-golf outing, said he sees the

Freshly declassified information on the twentieth century’s most influential spies and intelligence operations drew Baby Boomers and former spooks to the North Carolina Museum of History Thursday.

Historians, journalists and intelligence operatives presented newly uncovered findings from previously secret files at the eighth annual Raleigh Spy Conference. The conference was commenced by Bernie Reeves, the founder of the Raleigh Spy Conference, who lauded the importance of examining history through the use of primary government sources.

“We don’t really know what happened until somebody declassifies something,” said Reeves, who is also the editor and publisher of Raleigh Metro magazine.

outings as a way for people to get away from technology and interact face-to-face.

“I see people getting more and more involved with their little boxes,” Johnsen said. “I banned computers from my classes, trying to get [students] out to do things. We go all over campus....

That’s underneath why I think [faculty outings] are important— it’s important for people... to still interact personally and handle real world objects.”

Murphy’s outing is still being planned, but she said her two goals include bringing together students who might not otherwise meet, and getting students off campus and engaged in Durham.

Jorgens said the themes for the specific outings are coming straight from professors. “[Professors] have their own unique interests and pastimes in the Durham area,” Jorgens said.

“This is an amazing opportunity to showcase hidden Durham gems.... Each outing will be limited to six to 10 students, giving [professors] the opportunity to engage with excited students who are looking to learn more about their hobbies and interests.”

Nowicki said he believes the best ideas for student-faculty interaction come from students, adding that the FLUNCH program—a stipend which allows students to invite professors to lunch twice a semester—was started by Paul Slattery, Trinity ‘08.

“I’d love for students to think broadly about... [ways] for faculty and students to connect,” he said. “I’m really eager to hear more ideas like this.”

Q&A with Al Crumbliss Chemistry professor Alvin Crumbliss will receive the Charles H. Herty Medal, an annual award given by the Georgia Section of the American Chemical Society. The Herty Medal publicly recognizes the work and services of chemists who have contributed significantly to their chosen field. All chemists who have resided in the southeastern United States in the past ten years are eligible for the award. Crumbliss was given the award for his research on the biochemistry of iron and how different iron carriers mobilize and deposit iron at specific sites in a biological system, as well as for his Alvin Crumbliss leadership positions within the University and national and international organizations. The Chronicle’s Danielle Muoio spoke with Crumbliss about receiving the award and his research.

The Chronicle: What was your reaction to receiving the Herty Medal?

Alvin Crumbliss: I was surprised and honored. I had not expected this at all. I am indebted to those who nominated me and to the selection committee. Also, since this award is largely based on my research accomplishments, I am indebted to my faculty collaborators here and abroad, and the approximately 100 undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students who have worked in my lab to produce the results that have enabled us to advance the field of bioinorganic chemistry.

TC: Can you tell me more about your research that resulted in this award?

AC: Most recently we have been working on the mechanisms by which cells acquire, transport, utilize and store iron. This is an important area of research because iron is an essential nutrient for virtually all living cells. However, even though it is essential for life, iron in the wrong place at the wrong time and in the wrong concentration is toxic to life. This is the iron paradox.

Consequently how nature controls iron is a very important research topic which links to human health and disease, as well as other areas of science.

TC: Can you talk more about the iron paradox and why it’s so important to address?

AC: Iron is acquired and controlled differently for different types of cells. The chemical processes of signaling and control associated with the metabolism of iron are widely varied throughout biology. The iron paradox means that the location and chemical environment of iron must be carefully controlled. Iron is an essential nutrient, but too much iron in humans can cause reaction with oxygen and other chemical agents in the body, which can create very reactive toxic species called free radicals. These free radicals can attack cell membranes and thus destroy the cell...[which] can accelerate the aging process [or] cause cardiac arrest. Too little iron in humans, [however], causes anemia.

Too much iron can occur as a result of a genetic disease called beta-thalassemia or Cooley’s anemia. Patients with this disease produce abnormal hemoglobin assemblies, which are then recognized by the body and destroyed, thus making the patient anemic due to lack of red blood cells. The solution to this problem is a blood transfusion. However, transfused blood contains significant iron and a transfusion every 30 days over a period of 15 to 20 years... results in iron overload and often death by cardiac arrest. Thus the patient dies from the cure—repeated blood transfusions—for the disease—abnormal hemoglobin synthesis....

In order to address this problem one needs to understand at a fundamental level how iron is transported in the body in a healthy individual. It was this problem,

how to design a chemical agent to eliminate excess iron from an iron overloaded patient over a lifetime, that first got me interested in iron biochemistry 35 years ago.

TC: What inspired you to pursue this particular field of research?

AC: The importance of iron to human health and disease, and the multiple ways nature has evolved to deal with the iron paradox. [My lab is] also interested in how the iron in hemoglobin functions to transport oxygen from the lungs to the respiring cells in humans, [as well as] from the gills to the respiring cells [of fish] and also to the air sac that controls [their] buoyancy... All of these facets of the biochemistry of...iron... are what make the study of iron in a biological system fascinating and incredibly important.

TC: How has your research influenced you as a professor?

AC: My research has kept me excited about chemistry and the mysteries of nature, and excited about teaching students, both in the classroom and in my lab.

My research has also enabled me to engage interesting colleagues at Duke and in other parts of the U.S. and Europe.

Bang & Olufsen finds new life for old iPads

by Rich Jaroslovsky BLOOMBERG NEWS

SAN FRANCISCO — Here are three things you can do with an old iPad: pass it along to a family member, sell it on eBay or convert it into a great-sounding portable entertainment system — by spending more than it may have originally cost.

Bang & Olufsen portrays its $549 BeoPlay A3 as an easy solution for those times when you want bigger, better sound from your iPad than the tiny, tinny speaker Apple builds in. As far as “easy” goes, the A3 is pretty much a failure: It’s a royal pain to dock and undock your tablet.

But the company’s marketers may not quite understand their own product. Its real killer app turns out to be as a permanent home for that unused iPad, turning it into a wireless mini entertainment-andinformation center you can take with you from room to room.

The wedge-shaped A3 measures 14 inches by 8 inches and is 3 inches at its thickest point. It tips the scales at a hefty 2.75 pounds, and that doesn’t even count the weight of the iPad itself. In other words, the package is heavier than many notebook computers, and the happy people using it as a handheld in B&O’s promotional pho-

tos probably couldn’t wait to put it down as soon as the camera lights went off.

The BeoPlay is compatible with all three generations of iPads, and you can, theoretically, pop your tablet out to take with you if you’re going somewhere. In practice, however, it isn’t something you’ll want to do often.

The A3 comes with two rubber sleeves that fit around the iPad and are designed to allow it to sit snugly in the dock, its screen flush with the speaker enclosure. I had the easiest time with the sleeve designed for the original, 2010 iPad, which allowed it to slide fairly smoothly into the unit and hook up with the retractable dock connector.

But I had trouble using the sleeve designed for the iPad 2 and the current, thirdgeneration iPad, both of which are slightly thinner than the original tablet.

With the iPad 2, I had to line up the connector just so to get the tablet to snap properly into place. And the current iPad, which is fractionally thicker than its immediate predecessor, was a real struggle.

Several times, I thought I had it properly aligned, only to turn it on and discover the iPad sounded even worse than usual because the A3 audio connection hadn’t been made and the housing was covering the tablet’s built-in speaker.

Bang & Olufsen says it is aware of the problems and has redesigned the sleeve to work better with the newer models. Still, it’s tiresome to put it on every time you want to dock your iPad. And when you undock the tablet to take it with you somewhere, you’re faced with the problem of what to do with the sleeve once you remove it.

At about this point, I was tempted to

consign the BeoPlay to the pile of the overpriced and underthought. But a funny thing happened. Once I finally got it working right, I started warming to it.

For one thing, there’s the audio quality, which is terrific. The A3 features a two-inch woofer for a nice rich bass, but what’s really interesting are the half-inch tweeters, particularly how they’re deployed.

There are three of them, but only two are in use at any time. Which two are determined by a built-in accelerometer, the same kind of sensor that reorients a phone or tablet’s screen depending on whether it’s being held in landscape or portrait mode.

In the case of the A3, the accelerometer senses whether it’s positioned horizontally or vertically, then chooses the two tweeters that should fire for the best stereo effect.

The reorientation is both instantaneous and seamless.

In addition, the A3’s design — so inappropriate for handheld use — turns out to be pretty good for desk-, table- or countertops. In the kitchen, for example, you can put it in landscape mode to watch a TV episode via the iPad’s Hulu Plus app, then flip it into portrait mode to use as an electronic recipe-book holder. On a nightstand, you might want to position it vertically to minimize the amount of space it takes up and use it as a giant alarm clock and digital picture frame.

The A3’s internal battery provides five or more hours of wireless operation, depending on whether it needs to recharge your iPad at the same time. Plugging it into a wall outlet will juice up both the dock and the tablet.

Woodward and Carl Bernstein, but a third to a half of the leaked information was untrue, Holland said. In addition to publishing this material, Holland noted some discrepancies between the original transcripts of the interviews with Deep Throat and the published account in Woodward and Bernstein’s All the President’s Men. The book, which Holland described as “not completely non-fiction� was soon after made into a popular film starring A-list actors Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman. “When you’re portrayed by Robert Redford, you have a lot more leeway,� Holland said.

He likened the Deep Throat saga to the classic Western film “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,� which was famous for its commentary on media consumers’ attraction to sensationalized stories, even if they are not completely true. “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend,� the journalist says in the film.

FBI historian John Fox presented a nuanced portrait of J. Edgar Hoover as a hard-working bureaucrat who worked his way up to the role of FBI director and proceeded to guide his organization through decades of growth and maturation. He developed the best paper database in the world to keep track of the information his agents collected, and sparred with other intelligence leaders—like CIA founder Bill Donovan—over what role the FBI would take in the post-WWII American intelligence community.

The image of Hoover as a crime-fighting hero contrasts with actions seen as overstepping his bounds, such as his use of intelligence to attempt to damage Martin Luther King’s public image. “It does suggest perhaps that intelligence leaders need to leave after a time,� Fox said. “Even the strongest of leaders can make mistakes and leave clear warning signs of things to avoid.�

Fox also responded to a question from the audience regarding the rumor that Hoover was a cross-dresser by noting that the historical evidence did not support that claim. “It’s one of those images that strikes people’s imagination in all the wrong ways,� Fox said. “You see a picture of Hoover and you wouldn’t want to see him in a dress, would you?�

The Raleigh Spy Conference continues Friday with Brian Latell, the keynote speaker and retired CIA officer, discussing newly declassified insights into the sophistication of Fidel Castro’s spy intelligence services.

The restaurant sets itself apart because of its emphasis on customer service, he added. “When it comes to hiring employees, we look for outgoing personalities, good community citizens and people who are committed and love to work here,� he said. “Hospitality is part of our culture, and we try to emphasize it during our employee training.�

Au Bon Pain also offers a variety of fresh goods for its customers, Sandilands noted.. Ingredients are purchased from Foster Caviness Food Service every day, and all pastries are baked fresh at 3 a.m. in the morning. “We’re trying to encourage the students on campus with healthy food options,� said Lev Shnaidman, associate manager at Au Bon Pain. “There is an information kiosk that our customers have access to, and there are also vegan options—we try to alter our menu to accom-

modate everyone.�

Shnaidman noted that even though the food options are standard across all the Au Bon Pain cafes, there are always new recipes being added. For example, Au Bon Pain offers a new type of soup every day, with about fifty types of soups in total.

Stressing hospitality also creates a friendly work environment, said Lara Delahunt, assistant manager at Au Bon Pain. Delahunt, who was hired in June, said that it is comforting to get to know the customers at the cafe. “What puts me at ease is that everyone is genuine and nice,� Delahunt said. “Plus, I’m a huge basketball fan, so I love being in this college atmosphere and working at Duke.�

As for Duke students, some are not only impressed with the food, but also with the appearance of the cafe. “I not only love the eclectic selection of delicious food, but also the vibrant design of the walls,� said sophomore Nicholle Romero. “It really livens up the mood especially in the mornings.�

KUNSHAN from page 1 DKU is a joint venture between Duke, the city of Kunshan and Wuhan University. DKU is expected to provide specialized graduate and undergraduate programs to students from around the world at its 200-acre campus, located outside of Shanghai.

Two masters programs have already been approved by Duke faculty, a Master of Management Studies through the Fuqua School of Business and a Master of Science in Global Health through the Duke Global Health Institute.

“Through DKU, Duke will play a leadership role in creating new mod-

els of world-class higher education in China, introducing students and faculty to Duke’s signature strengths of liberal arts education and the interdisciplinary study of contemporary problems,” President Richard Brodhead wrote in an email to the Duke community Thursday.

Duke submitted its initial proposal in June 2011 to the Educational Bureau for Jiangsu Province, where Kunshan is located. The bureau approved the proposal that December, and it was immediately sent to the Chinese Ministry of Education. In January, Brodhead told The Chronicle that it was possible the national approval process would only last a matter of weeks, though it typically takes about six months.

CONVOCATION from page 3 this year from Montana, encourage him or her to come to Duke,” he quipped.

Nowicki continued the ceremony’s forward-thinking themes by comparing the freshman class to the Curiosity Rover.

“Like the landing of Curiosity on Mars, your arrival at Duke is a remarkable achievement and one worth celebrating,” Nowicki said. “I’ve asked you to stretch yourself, to try new things, to find your passions, and to let your own curiosity—the trait, not the Mars rover— guide you.”

Senior Alex Swain, president of Duke

Student Government, advised freshmen to explore their passions and discover new ones, make a difference and get to know their peers.

Freshman Jennifer Garand said she appreciated the speakers’ acknowledgement that college is a daunting experience.

“I really liked that everyone who spoke mentioned that it’s really tough the first week,” she said.

Freshmen Justin Park and Brendan O’Brien added that the ceremony was uplifting, noting the sense of unity and opportunity generated by the speakers.

“The door is open wide,” Brodhead said. “Come in and enjoy it. Come take the great new life you’ve earned.”

ELECTION from page 1 Activities at Duke North Carolina’s standing as a battleground state will ensure a flurry of activism throughout the upcoming election season.

Student volunteers will reach out to voters via personal interactions and social media in conjunction with voter registration drives and phone banking to raise voter awareness of the issues and increase voter turnout.

North Carolina Young Americans for Romney plan to host an open gathering to watch Romney’s convention speech. This will form part of a larger effort to recruit students to campaign and volunteer and to better appreciate the importance of their votes, said sophomore Alex Gersovitz, student recruitment chair for NCYAFR. “It’s important for students to be in front of a TV or to get the YouTube clip to see what the candidates are saying and to stay involved,� Gersovitz said. “That’s the only way to really understand the issues and make your vote count.�

Duke Democrats is distributing 100 tickets for Duke students to attend Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC, said CDNC President Elena Botella, a senior.

College Democrats of North Carolina is also planning trips to Charlotte, Montreat and Wilmington during Fall Break to raise voter support for Democrats running for state and national offices, Botella said.

She added that CDNC is solidifying a campaign to reach out to college professors to encourage their students to register to vote in a nonpartisan manner. Professors are also encouraged to provide new perspectives on the candidates through the lenses of their respective fields, participate in volunteer events on campus and donate to the CDNC.

Duke professors are already getting involved by participating in a speaker series to raise awareness about different issues at the forefront of the elections, Botella said. “Election season on campus this year is going to be a very exciting time,� Rhodes said. “It will be a dialogue that will go on far after the election.�

College issues Duke students will likely focus on the economy and college affordability as they decide which box to check on their ballots come Nov. 6.

The state of the job market will be a pertinent issue in the elections, especially for juniors and seniors entering the work force, senior Paul Vanderslice, NCYAFR fraternity and sorority outreach coordinator, wrote in an email Thursday. “Obama’s mismanagement of the economy will be our number one issue,� Vanderslice said. “Not even Duke students are immune to the weak job market that comes as a result of this imaginary recovery.�

But students will also be concerned about how the candidates’ policies will affect their ability to pay for college, sophomore David Winegar, co-president of Duke Democrats, wrote in an email Thursday. Whereas President Barack Obama plans to create a strong middle class by investing in education, Mitt Romney and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan’s policies would cut taxes for the rich and reduce support for students, Winegar said.

More specifically, students are concerned about student loans, co-president of Duke Democrats Adrienne Harreveld wrote in an email Wednesday. The Ryan Budget, for example, calls for cutting Pell Grants, which would disadvantage lower income students. “Without Pell Grants, Duke would be an entirely different and economically homogenous campus,� Harreveld said.

CHAPEL from page 3 weekly basis. This will be the first time, t however, that the ceiling requires e extensive renovation.

Sapp noted that the renovation will require the temporary removal of 118 r pews p from the chapel—a process that w take about four days to bring the will p pews out and back in.

Chapel worship for the intervening weekend, w Sept. 15-16 will take place on

the chapel lawn. In case of rain it will move to Page Auditorium.

Metal scaffolding now spans either side of the chapel’s main aisle.

While a Sept. 16 organ recital has been canceled, there are no weddings scheduled during the weekend the inspection will take place. The scaffolding did not stop events such as Undergraduate and Graduate Convocation, which took place in the chapel on Wednesday, and Maya Angelou will speak there on Sunday.

Interdisciplinary Debates: Feminism and Freedom Frances Hasso, Th 3:05-5:35PM

Following Christ Together at Duke.

Saturday, 8/25:

This course was conceived in response to the recent uprising in North 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 ďŹ lm that take[s] an innovative approach to understanding the social, political, economic, and cultural implications of freedom. Participants 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 ďŹ ction from/set in subsaharan Africa. Also participating 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.

Debates in Women’s Studies Kathi Weeks, T 4:40 – 7:10 PM The course is designed to introduce graduate students to major debates in women’s studies. Over the course of the semester we will investigate a number of contested concepts, themes, and issues. More speciďŹ cally, we will explore the key categories of gender, sex, and sexuality; investigate the relationship between equality and difference; and debate controversial issues including the character and function of domestic service work, the status of sex work, and the use and/ or abuse of reproductive technologies. Throughout the course we will consider the relationship between gender and other axes of difference like race, class, and sexuality, and think about how feminist projects could be crafted so that they attend to differences among gendered subjects.

tions of university happenings also cycle through quickly. For instance, vice president for student affairs Larry Moneta suggested that last year’s failed Football Gameday experiment as a necessary deadweight loss in the effort to find a better Tailgate replacement. In four short years, no one would remember this disappointing experiment, nor Tailgate for that matter. In other words, given the rapid student turnover, long-term goals often trump short-term considerations.

This is a potentially dangerous philosophy. Four years goes by quickly indeed; we are not undergraduates at Duke for very long and deserve to have our student experience prioritized, even if our short stay at this university happens to fall during a time of incred-

ible growth and upheaval. In this light, we hope that the administration protects the experience of current Duke students as it also tries to enhance the experience of future Duke students.

For example, in the midst of West Union Building renovations, the administration should listen to student organizations about concerns with their temporary locations.

Even though the relocation will only last two years while West Union is under construction, the services that organizations like the LGBT Center and Mary Lou Williams Center are too important to be ignored, even in the shortterm. The short-term dining needs of students must also be emphasized. In regards to the house model, these early years

are actually the most vital, setting a precedent for how the residential system will operate in the future. The administration would be wise to again heed short-term interests— such as catering to juniors or on-campus seniors who may not initially feel house pride— to get the new system off to a good start.

Current Duke students are lucky to be attending the school at such an important moment in its history. We are truly witnessing a university in the making. However, it is not selfish to demand that our present needs still be considered amid all these changes.

This year will be a momentous one for Duke, but it should also be a rich and enjoyable one for students in the here and now.

A Willert family vacation

W

hat’s hot this summer? Mint, strappy sandals and family vacations. You know the drill: Get all the gang to pile into the old station wagon and head off to places far and near, leaving all worldly troubles behind. Well, sort of. Not really. Okay, yeah no— just encountering new troubles. Trade that due date for bunking up with a cousin or four, that jury-duty date for a curtain-less shower and the inefficiencies of largegroup decision making on “vacation.”

Family vacation at its quirkiest? Enter the Willert family. We Willerts have a nasty habit that we just can’t kick: heavy packing. Ten-bags-for-seven-days problems. We’ve tried and tried but we’re neck-scratching, support-groupattending, full-fledged duffle addicts.

And this summer, we were off to the parents’ old medical school haunts in Chicago and Nana Willert’s home in Indiana.

Scarred by vacations past, I jokingly warned the orchestrator of it all, Daddy Willert, “No flippers this time, Dad.” But seriously, not a long shot. Flippers and mask in tow not for a trip to the Keys or the Bahamas, but for a middle-of-nowhere, Howdy Doody, northern Indiana family get together. This year we came bearing Aero minute beds, a basketball, volleyball kneepads and rope all stuffed into the nine identical army bags my dad bought at a flea market in Florence.

And so here I sit, stuffed back in the catacombs of the backseat—glass lanterns at my feet, Jenga towers of sleeping bags to my right, and my mom 8 inches away but not within ear shot. Whether we are traveling halfway around the country or just down the road you know the Willert wagon will be packed to the brim. And so now we jokingly have deemed ourselves the “country cousins,” piling in from good ole Floooor-ida. (And Dad has a missing tooth awaiting a dental implant to boot).

Now, the essential staples of any good-old-fashioned family vacation extend well beyond overpacking. Any good one means only one gracie willert thing: grandma’s. Good old read me maybe Nana simply must make an appearance somehow.

And the only summer spectacle more entertaining than Willert family travel is Nana’s lake house and its matriarch. Frances “Nana” Willert is among the most rambunctious of the Willert bunch. At 87, she is still the youngest of four. When prompted with “Remember Uncle Gus?” she responds “Gus, when did he die?” Why yes, she is a white-topped, spit-firing, card dealing, trashtalking ball of fire.

This summer, however, is Willert-on-the-rocks with a twist. Not just your usual suspects, the four Bostonians and the four Floridians. A poor unsuspecting visitor is along for the ride, the cousin’s boyfriend from Minnesota.

Pobre Pat has been thrust not only into “Meet the Parents” mode, but also “Meet the Willerts.” Dial up Ben Stiller.

We have my mom, the stress ball who wears a fleece anytime the temperature hits under 85 degrees.

We have the aforementioned dad, the jokester. Uncle Dan and Aunt Bette, our Boston intellects. Andrew, the people person and Facebook addict. Maddie, the bringer of Pat, and the youngest, her brother Zach.

When we all get together, it’s cards and Amish dinners in the Indiana countryside. It means showers that smell like iron and Nana’s stale cookies. It’s frozen bread falling out of the freezer. It’s hand waving and raised voices. It’s clashing opinions and laughter and angst.

With the passing years, it only gets more dynamic and memorable.

This year marks the last summer at Nana’s sleepy, lovely, crazy, crowded lake house. I got up at 6 a.m. this morning. Couldn’t sleep. Maddie snoring, cousins sprawled on the floor, apple crisp left out on the counter, the old grandfather clock tolling out of time. I went outside to see the most beautiful sunrise. And through all the mess, the crumbs, the forced intimacy and the nana, they’re family. And I’m really going to miss this place.

Blue Devils Scheyer prepares to ball in Spain need a hot start

by Andrew Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Former Duke basketball player Jon Scheyer, who averaged 18.2 points per game as a senior in 2009-2010 and helped lead the Blue Devils to the national championship, signed last week to play with Gran Canaria in Spain. After going undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft, Scheyer played in the NBA’s Development League and last year played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel. Scheyer spoke to The Chronicle’s sports editor Andrew Beaton about his move to Europe.

This is the year for Duke basketball fans to spend their fall with Blue Devil football.

There’s no downside—by the time Countdown to Craziness arrives Oct. 19, you’ll probably know if Duke is headed to its first bowl game since 1994.

Never have Duke football’s first five games been more pivotal under head coach David Cutcliffe. The Blue Devils’ 2012-2013 slate features six games against teams ranked or receiving votes in the AP preseason top 25, and five of those matchups come in the final half of the season. With such a backloaded schedule, Duke likely needs a 4-2—potentially 5-1—record in its first six contests to have the momentum it needs to play through December.

In fact, if the Blue Devils play their cards right, they’ll have a bowl wrapped up before Duke basketball freshmen Rasheed Sulaimon and Amile Jefferson are officially introduced.

The Chronicle: How has the transition been to Spain?

Jon Scheyer: It’s been interesting. It’s been good overall.

TC: Have you had the chance to meet people from your team yet?

JS: Yeah, we’ve had a few practices.

We had two [Wednesday] and one when I first got here on Monday.

TC: How were the practices?

JS: They went really well. Right now it’s just about getting in shape, learning the team and what they like to do and getting to know them, and sharpening up my skills.

TC: What led you to want to play for Gran Canaria?

JS: I felt like it was a great opportunity for me. This is such a huge year for me and my career and Gran Canaria is a CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Recapping Duke’s busy summer

ELYSIA SU/THE CHRONICLE

Duke fans will know early on in the season if the team is headed to a bowl game, Cusack writes.

Summer may technically be the offseason for Duke football, but the team produced had no shortage of news over the last few months. While players awaited the start of training camp and the 2012 campaign, the Blue Devils were busy in a summer full of changes and adjustment heading into this season.

Here are all the key notes from the team’s summer, with scrimmages already underway and the first get set for Sep. 1 against Florida International. #PrayFor8 The summer began on a sad note when wide receivers Blair Holliday and Jamison Crowder collided in a Jet Ski accident, leaving Holliday in critical condition with a serious head injury.

The Duke community began to raise money in support of the Holliday family, with the Blair Holliday Recovery Fund generating $19,413 to date to cover his medical expenses at the UNC Trauma Center in Chapel Hill and the Shepard Center in Atlanta, where he currently resides.

Duke football head coach David Cutcliffe remains in constant

contact with Holliday, who walked for the first time since the accident Tuesday night.

On the recruiting trail At the same time, Cutcliffe remained vigilant on the recruiting trail, receiving verbal commitments from a number of three-star recruits over the summer.

The Blue Devils now have 15 verbal commitments in the 2013 recruiting class.

Vernon earns preseason accolades Wide receiver Connor Vernon was named to the preseason All-ACC Team after catching 70 passes for 956 yards in the 2011 season. He is quickly closing in on both the Duke and ACC all-time receiving records for both receptions and receiving yards.

Braxton, Scott and Connette prepare for new roles As training camp got underway, many familiar faces returned to the Blue Devils, but several will be seen in different locations on the field this year. Brandon Braxton, who caught 40 passes for 352 yards at wide receiver last year, will play safety and could crack the starting lineup. Desmond Scott will move to wide receiver this

season after rushing for 367 yards and two touchdowns last year as a running back.

Brandon Connette’s role on this year’s team remains to be seen. After missing most of last year due to injury, Connette may see time again at the quarterback position this season, but could also be utilized as a running back or tight end. The jury is still out on Connette’s exact role, though Cutcliffe has used him creatively in preseason scrimmages.

Blue Devils unveil new lids Duke also unveiled two new helmets last week.

Formerly wearing strictly white helmets with a blue logo, the Blue Devils also introduced a blue helmet with a white logo and a black on black helmet as well. After debuting their black uniforms for the first time last season in a season-opening loss to Richmond, Duke will don their black helmets at least once this season in an all-black outfit.

Cassie Pecht has earned praise from head coach Robbie Church, who says the freshman has impressed early in the Blue Devils’ season.

Duke will still have to deal with the absence Mollie Pathman and Kelly Cobb during this weekend, who are playing with the USA U-20 team in Japan, but that will give the players who are filling the void, particularly senior Kim DeCesare and freshman Cassie Pecht, a chance to prove themselves against different competition. DeCesare described it as an “honor” to fill in for Cobb, who led the Blue Devils with 31 points on 11 goals and nine assists last season.

She was named to the Soccer America team of the week and the ACC Player of the Week.

But for DeCesare, these accolades mean little compared to getting the wins for the team.

Last year the Nike Carolina Classic was a turning point for the Blue Devils. Down 1-0 against Notre Dame—then the defending national champions—Duke rallied back in the second half to defeat the Fighting Irish for a 3-1 win that set the tone for the season, in which they reached the national championship game.

“As a coach you can point to different times in the season that will influence you positively and negatively,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “Going into the Carolina tournament it takes us back to the Sunday afternoon when we played Notre Dame…. Coming out and winning 3-1 was the game you could point back that just gave the confidence for the team to go and play at the next level.”

One year later, the No. 1 Blue Devils will make the same trip to Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C., as one of the top ranked teams in the nation to prove they are not a one-season wonder and continue the success the team achieved last season. Duke will face Montreal in an exhibition match Friday before facing No. 9 Florida (0-1) Sunday.

Duke (2-0) is coming off a high-scoring weekend with 12 goals and only one conceded in two victories against William and Mary and Elon. During those two games, every available player on the roster had a chance to take the field—something Church hopes to continue in the game against the Carabins (0-0), with the result not counting toward the team’s record.

“These are big minutes for our players,” Church said. “They can… help us down the road.”

Against the Gators, however, Church expects the game to be a tough fight. In an exhibition last spring, Florida “wore us down,” according to Church. Duke last faced the Gators in a competitive game in the second round of the 2010 NCAA tournament, with the Blue Devils prevailing 4-2 in the penalty shootout. The Blue Devils hold a 3-5-2 head-to-head record against Florida.

DIVING

Divers synchronize for first pitch at DBAP

by Danny Nolan THE CHRONICLE

Abby Johnston and Nick McCrory are no strangers to the spotlight. After all, Johnston and McCrory snapped a 12year medal drought for the United States in Olympic diving this past summer at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Thursday night at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, however, was a different story.

The Duke divers’ summer accomplishments were honored at last night’s game, where the divers threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

“I was nervous,” Johnston said. “I really didn’t want to hit the dirt, but I did, which is really disappointing. Everyone kept telling me to aim high and I tried to, but I got a little nervous.”

After all the attention the duo has received this summer, McCrory wondered why Johnston, a silver medalist in the women’s synchronized 3-meter springboard in this past Olympics, was so anxious.

“Nick asked, ‘Are you nervous?’ Johnston said. “I said yes and he told me that we’ve performed in front of more people at the Olympics. I told him, ‘Yeah, but I was good at that.”

McCrory, a bronze medalist in the men’s synchronized 10-meter platform, felt he had a solid performance on the mound.

“I thought it was OK, but I don’t really know,” McCrory said. “It may have been a little low. People who know baseball [may think differently though].”

Johnston and McCrory returned from the London Games more than a week ago, but still feel overwhelmed with the attention they have received.

“It’s been a great reception at home,” McCrory said.

“The support has been amazing from everywhere. That’s really what kept us going throughout the Olympics.”

The transition has been similarly surprising for Johnston, who is unaccustomed to the new attention.

“I’m just so flattered when people want to take a picture,” Johnston said. “It’s just weird to me. It’s what I’ve always dreamed of and it’s just crazy.”

MEN’S SOCCER

Blue Devils seek smooth start to the season

by Hunter Nisonoff THE CHRONICLE

With two scoreless exhibition matches in the preseason, the Blue Devils will be looking to improve their offense in their first match of the regular season.

No. 21 Duke will take on No. 18 Notre Dame Saturday, beginning their season on the road at Alumni Stadium in South Bend, Ind. The Blue Devils will aim to improve on their preseason offensive performances, which resulted in a 0-0 draw to Ohio State and a 1-0 loss to Michigan State.

“I am concerned, but I am optimistic as well,” head coach John Kerr said.

An injury to sophomore Nick Palodichuk—the leading returning scorer from the 2011 season who left the field early against Ohio State—has limited the offense, but he is expected to play Saturday. The team’s leading scorer from last season, Andrew Wenger, was the No. 1 selection in this year’s MLS SuperDraft.

Although the team is led by veterans on defense, with senior goalkeeper James Belshaw and junior defender Sebastien Ibeagha serving as co-captains in the back, the offense is comprised predominantly of sophomores and freshmen.

“We have a really talented group of sophomores that got a lot of playing time last year as freshmen,” Kerr said. “They are going to have to step up and be leaders.”

Among those is sophomore Sean Davis, one of five returning starters. In an injury plagued season, Davis started in 10 games at the center midfield position.

“He has come on strong,” Kerr said. “He is understanding his role and continues to grow day by day. He is going to be really important for our midfield” Notre Dame posted a stronger preseason performance with a 3-0-1 record, recording seven goals. One of the Fighting Irish attackers, Ryan Finley will be a familiar face to the Blue Devils. The senior left Duke after his sophomore year following a suspension from the team.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Zoubek’s ‘Dream Puffz’ is now a reality

by Andrew Beaton THE CHRONICLE

After months of planning, baking, testing and perfecting the recipe for his own cream puffs, Brian Zoubek finally opened Dream Puffz, his own cream puff shop in Haddonfield, N.J. Zoubek, a Haddonfield native, opened Dream Puffz July 30, amid fanfare that helped him sell over 1,200 on his first day.

“We sold out everyday in the first week,” Zoubek said. “That’s a good problem to have.”

At Dream Puffz, Zoubek is no behind-the-scenes, keep-his-hands-clean type owner. Working alongside a chef he hired who went to culinary school nearby in Philadelphia, Zoubek displays a positional flexibility his 7-foot-1 frame never allowed on the basketball court, seamlessly moving from the kitchen, to the cash register, to schmoozing with customers.

The former Duke basketball star, who as a senior was an integral member of the 2010 national championship squad, Zoubek proudly displays memorabilia from his Blue Devil days in the shop. Featuring pictures from the 2010 team, his No. 55 jersey and even a chair from the 2010 Final Four, Duke fans are undoubtedly welcome in Dream Puffz.

But Zoubek does not forget his roots–as a native of the area, his No. 55 jersey from Haddonfield Memorial High School also hangs framed on the wall. Fans from both his Duke and his high school careers have come into the shop and voiced their support for him, Zoubek said.

Still, his dreams are larger than one shop on a quiet street in Haddonfield. Inspired by niche desert trends that caught on in New York City such as Baked by Melissa, Zoubek hopes to expand there where his business can really take off. In order to do so, he is looking to hire a manager who can help him deal with the Haddonfield location while he deals with expansion possibilities.

“I’m looking to get everything down—get the model down and get the catering down—and then hopefully go up to New York and see how it goes up there,”

FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 2012 | 7

Duke will know early if it is going bowling CUSACK from page 1 A 6-1 start is admittedly a long shot for a program that hasn’t won that many games in a full season since before many of the freshmen were born.

Still, even five wins through that stretch would give Duke a realistic shot at sneaking a .500 record. Saying the Blue Devils are finally primed to go bowling has become a tired refrain over the last four seasons—as it does at every school with a long postseason drought—but after four one-score losses last season, Duke doesn’t need a major overhaul to find six wins this year.

The day after men’s basketball kicks off its season, the Blue Devils host North Carolina (which is closer to a national ranking than Julius Peppers ever was to a classroom), followed by No. 7 Florida State, No. 14 Clemson and Georgia Tech. Since Duke’s last meeting with the Tigers in 2008—a 31-7 Clemson smackdown—it has lost to the Tar Heels, Seminoles and Yellow Jackets eight times by a combined 123 points.

Florida International presents the toughest opener Duke has faced under Cutcliffe, at least on paper. No one is more excited to get away from FCS competition—really just Richmond— than the Blue Devils, who won’t dare look past the Golden Panthers after last year’s debacle.

A long road trip to Palo Alto will likely be the only game where Duke finds itself a significant underdog until traveling to Blacksburg Oct. 13 to face Virginia Tech. But the Cardinal have

the biggest roster question mark of any ranked team—can Josh Nunes, who has thrown just two career passes, replace Andrew Luck, the No. 1 pick in this year’s NFL Draft?

N.C. Central may eventually pose a threat to the Blue Devils under Henry Frazier III, but it won’t be this year.

Frazier coached Prairie View A&M, owner of an NCAA record 80-game losing streak, to a SWAC title before taking over the Eagles.

Memphis’ defense gave up more than 40 points in six different games last season, and has won just three matchups in the last two years. They put this one on Homecoming Weekend, the fourth game of the season, for a reason.

The Duke-Wake Forest football game has quietly been one of the most spectacular rivalries in the ACC in recent years. While the Blue Devils have managed to lose the last four matchups in increasingly excruciating fashion, there’s no game on the schedule worth noting more than this one. The last time the two met in Winston-Salem there were 70 points scored before halftime. Last year, the Demon Deacons eked out a 24-23 victory at Wallace Wade.

Duke has handled Virginia better than any other ACC team under Cutcliffe, winning three of four meetings.

The Blue Devils have also nearly upset Virginia Tech in two of the last three seasons, including a 14-10 loss last year that featured four Duke turnovers.

And if this all blows up in my face, at least basketball season will only be a few days away.

Thus we will study the poet, the polemist, the courtesan, the doctor, the politician, the artist, the scientist, the court lady, the storyteller, the playwright, the letter writer, the traveler, the saint, the fake-saint, and the tragic writer. All have something to tell us of their time and to teach us about our time. ALP CZ CCI FL

Italian 390.01 Biopolitics, Bioethics, Ecolit Prof. Gilebbi WF 3:05-4:20 Gross Hall 105 Students will question the validity of an anthropocentric view of the world by considering Italian modern and contemporary philosophical texts on biopolitical and bioethical issues and analyzing a variety of literary texts (poetry, prose, film) to reconfigure their understanding of the human/animal relationship, and its biopolitical and bioethical implications. Topics include animal and human rights, zooanthropology, ecology, eugenics, speciesism, factory farming, and animal testing.

Focusing on a close reading of Boccaccio’s often bawdy and frequently banned masterpiece, topics addressed include Boccaccio’s apparent feminism, the relation of language to reality, the uses of literature, the contest between human wit and fortune, the power of love in the face of societal forces, the changing views of religion (and the religious), the birth of the merchant (and middle) class, and the seriousness of comedy.

W. SOCCER from page 2 Despite the team’s dominant offensive production from last week, Church acknowledged it would be difficult for Duke to continue this streak.

Although most of the team returns from last year’s national runner-up squad, Duke’s heading to Chapel Hill for this tournament is different compared to last year. Traditonally perennial outsiders ranked outside the elite, the Blue Devils are now the top team that squads such as Florida will be fighting to take down.

Now as the hunted, not the hunters, the Blue Devils have the chance to cement their place in the elite and form a foundation for the remainder of the season.

“You could see how hungry this team is to continue and build on their success they had last year and take it one step further,” Church said.

KEVIN HE/THE CHRONICLE

At the Duke fall sports media day Wednesday, head coach Robbie Church said the team is “hungry” to build on its successful 2011 campaign.

Process

Are you interested in the recent debates about women’s health in the Presidential Election? Want to know why we have such few women in Congress and have never had a female President? Want to discuss whether Santorum’s sweater vests or Mitt Romney’s hair hurt their campaigns and why? Then this is the class for you!

This course looks at the importance of gender in politics, connecting the various gender gaps in US politics with current events. We will seek to understand how gender dynamics affect political rhetoric, electoral outcomes, public policies, and behaviors of both men and women. Perhaps more importantly, we will spend a good deal of the course focusing on WHY these dynamics exist. We will draw heavily from the world around us; both in terms of the 2012 elections and current popular cultural events. This class will be hands on and experiential, with both blogging and service learning playing key roles. Students will learn to explain and analyze how differences in leadership styles, levels of representation, and political behaviors of men and women relate with the newest phenomenon on Youtube or Reddit and affect political outcomes.

Make sure to visit The Chronicle’s sports blog, The Blue Zone at sports.chronicleblogs.com for even more Duke sports news, including weekly updates on recruiting and everything else you need to know about the Blue Devils.

WST 270 Animals and Ethics Kathy Rudy, MW 1:25 - 2:40PM The goal of this class is to survey different approaches to ethical thinking in relation to non-human animals.

In the world named but not captured by the term “animal rights,” philosophical, ethical, and legal theories once sanctioned for use only in relation to humans are now being applied to animals with a varying array of outcomes and conclusions. This course will examine different strategies of animal advocacy as they are manifested in Kantianism, contract based theories, utilitarianism, welfarism. We will also read works that critique all Western philosophies as inadequate for dealing with non-human animals. The animal advocacy movement is filled with activists, philosophers, political theorists, feminists, lawyers, and representatives of many different intellectual traditions who disagree about the status of animals, about whether or not we should eat them or wear them or hunt them or train them for entertainment or keep them in our homes. We’ll try to understand the differences between animal rights and other liberation movements (like women’s rights and civil rights) in order to see why ethics plays such an important role. While certain forms of public rhetoric may promote an idea that animal advocacy is a seamless, all-or-nothing, rights-based, vegan agenda, this class presumes there are many acceptable positions in relation to non-human animals. While what happens to animals beyond the scope of our vision: at the factory farm, the slaughterhouse, the dog pound, the circus, or the research lab, may indeed be unethical, this class presumes that there are many different ways to formulate moral solutions.

WST 364S Race, Gender and Sexuality Clare Counihan, TuTh 10:05 - 11:20AM This class examines three key sites of contest in contemporary Botswana: the government’s decision to relocate the San from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR), literary representations of Botswana after decolonization as a utopian space, and the international and local repercussions of Botswana’s HIV/AIDS epidemic. Each of these sites reveals the fragility of the nation-state’s promise to guarantee all its citizens equal access to the rights of citizenship. In particular, the course interrogates how race, gender and sexuality differentially shape the nation-state’s and individual and group actors’ mobilization of rhetoric and resources.

For example, how does the government deploy or depart from anthropological scholarship about ‘Bushmen’ or ‘Khoisan’ which defines their racial and cultural identity as distinct from the Tswana majority? How do NGOs re-appropriate or contest that racialized identity as the basis for advocacy? At all three sites, the course will interrogate how race, gender and sexuality intersect to determine and/or complicate real and fictional subjects, access to the freedoms the nation, in theory, guarantees.

TC: Did you speak to former Duke basketball player and your former teammate Kyle Singler about what it was like to play in Spain?

JS: I did call Kyle. It was good to get his thoughts on everything. He has been in this position and I’ve been over here too. Kyle helped me make this decision and look what it’s done for Kyle—it’s been a great move for him.

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

Zoubek said. “That’s the ultimate goal and I think I’m well on my way.”

Zoubek did not have any visits from former teammates in his first week, but has since had the chance to see Jon Scheyer and Steve Johnson, who came to visit him. Both were his teammates on the 2010 national championship squad.

When they visited, they got to choose from the six flavors of filling: very vanilla bean, luscious strawberry, pistachio, cookies and cream, banana and wafers and peanut butter. Additionally, Zoubek sells the shells either covered in chocolate or plain. The peanut butter, vanilla bean and cookies and cream have been the most popular so far, according to Zoubek.

But as a first-time business owner, the giant chef and entrepreneur has found that there is much more to being successful than making a tasty treat.

“You think you’ve solved the first 100 problems and then another 100 problems pop up,” Zoubek said. “Everyday is solving problems and if you don’t like that, don’t be an entrepreneur.”

One of those problems has been overcoming a cursed location, taking out a spot that has seen a high turnover of baker occupants.

“The place had a stigma in my town. There had been a couple of failed bakeries there. So we really had to come in an reimagine the space,” Zoubek said. “But people have been really happy with it so far.”

~ 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

~ 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). Professor Shai Ginsburg

VOLLEYBALL from page 6 titles. UW-Milwaukee is picked to win the regular season title again in 2012. Junior Rachel Neuberger, senior Elizabeth Egerer, and sophomore Kayla Price received preseason all-Horizon League honors.

And after the Blue Devils won all three games in last year’s Duke Invitational to begin the season, they will look to begin this campaign with a similarly strong start against non-conference foes.

“We’re excited for this year’s 2012 volleyball season here at Duke,” Nagel said. “One of the reasons that we’re so excited is that the team has made a commitment to be here to begin training together in July amongst themselves. I think they are really hungry and ready to play someone other than each other.”
