Trustees discuss value of higher ed At retreat, Board hears updates on Duke Forward, Duke Kunshan University

by Yeshwanth Kandimalla THE CHRONICLE

After approving a 4 percent undergraduate tuition increase and other campus projects, the Board of Trustees continued conversations on the state of the University during a Saturday retreat.

The Trustees analyzed the benefits of higher education through different mediums, said President Richard Brodhead. The Board also received updates on major University initiatives, including Duke Kunshan University and the Duke Forward capital campaign.

The meeting led to a stronger sense of the future goals and needs of the University, said Board Chair Richard Wagoner, Trinity ’75.

Changing nature of professional education Both Bill Boulding, dean of the Fuqua School of Business, and David Levi, dean of the School of Law, gave presentations on how their schools have responded to the changing role and demand for professional education.

Many business schools need to address the question of their importance with the growing presence of online education, Wagoner said.

Fuqua has better positioned itself by taking advantage of the benefits of interdisciplinary learning that is best taught on campus. For example, interdisciplinary programs at Fuqua enable MBA students to enter their careers with more in-depth knowledge of sectors such as health care or energy.

Boulding was not available for comment in time for publication.

Duke raises awareness Senior ties medicine to about eating disorders theology in Chapel sermon

by Anthony Hagouel THE CHRONICLE

Students and administrators are collaborating to increase awareness about eating disorders on campus this week as part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

Spearheaded by sophomore Taylor Turkeltaub, the week aims to promote meaningful conversations about Duke’s attitudes concerning mental health and push against a superficial approach to dealing with eating disorders. The events are jointly sponsored by Counseling and Psychological Services, Student Health, the Women’s Center, Panhellenic Association, Athletics, the Student Wellness Center, Do Something! and the WHO Speaks campaign.

“The thing that is most damaging about [some] campaigns is that they promote and spread that eating disorders are superficial,” Turkeltaub said. “Those campaigns are what cause the statements: ‘You’re pretty—why don’t you just go eat a sandwich?’

It’s way more complicated than that.”

NEDA Week aims to take a more personalized approach to addressing eating disorders as opposed to the general and limiting scientific dichotomy of bulimia versus anorexia, Turkeltaub noted. By having events ranging from talks on helping friends who are struggling with eating disorders with speaker Nancy Zucker, director of the Duke Center for Eating Disorders, to displaying provocative pictures of people who once had eating disorders at a gallery in the Bryan Center, the organizers of the event are hoping to get more students talking about the sensitive issue.

Approximately 40 percent of students seeking services at CAPS are identified as having some form of distress in their relationship with food and dissatisfaction with their body image, Kelly Crace, director of CAPS, wrote in an email Sunday. It is more complicated to determine the rate of eating disorders among students due to the way CAPS tracks and obtains clinical SEE EATING ON PAGE 4

When writing the student sermon that she delivered to the Duke Chapel this weekend, senior Jocelyn Streid found inspiration among her fellow Cameron Crazies at 4 a.m.

On Sunday morning, Streid took to the pulpit in place of Dean Luke Powery to give the student sermon. An English major and pre-medical student from St. Louis, Streid preached to a full Chapel about health care, death and liturgy. Her sermon focused on the intersection between theology and medicine, and in particular, the human obsession with prolonging life.

“Conceptually I’m really interested in the intersection between the theology narrative and medicine,” she said. “I’m really fascinated by palliative care and the end of life, helping people work through those decisions.”

Board ups tuition, in line with other colleges

by Margot Tuchler THE CHRONICLE

The Board of Trustees approved a 4 percent tuition increase for undergraduates.

At their Friday meeting, the Board approved raising tuition from $42,308 this year to $44,020 in the 2013-2014 academic year. The total cost of attendance for undergraduates—which includes tuition, dining, room and board and other fees— will increase by 3.9 percent, bringing the total cost to $58,278, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. On average, tuition increased 4.46 percent per year between 2002 and 2012.

Schoenfeld noted that the cost increases are based on careful analysis of the University’s finances.

“The University is—as are most universities—still recovering from the financial dislocations of the last few years so... the value of the endowment is really just now returning to what it was in 2008,” Schoenfeld said.

Jacob Vigdor, professor of public policy and economics, noted that annual tuition increases among institutions of higher education have come to be the norm.

“A university choosing zero as their increase would be the newsworthy thing. It would be a front page of The New York Times news item,” said Vigdor, an expert in education. “But this [tuition increase] is sort of what we’ve grown to expect over a very long period of time.”

Among the schools in the Consortium on Financing Higher Education—a

group of 31 private colleges and universities dedicated to analyzing the finances of higher education—Duke’s average tuition increases have historically been below the median, Provost Peter Lange said.

He added that he believes that trend will continue this year.

“Our programs are changing and, we’d say, improving over time, so there’s some expectation that as programs improve, you might also get pressures to increase tuition,” Lange said. “Those are standard drivers we have.... There is nothing exceptional about this year.”

Sophomore Tommy Chen noted that although he does not appreciate the raise in tuition, he understands why the decision was made.

“When every other university among its caliber is doing the same, raising tuition seems the most acceptable means of raising money,” Chen said. “The system is imperfect, and I disapprove of some spending decisions—most recently the renovation of West Union—but I think tuition increases are unfortunately necessary to keep pace with expenses and inflation.”

In addition to the upswing in undergraduate tuition, the graduate and professional schools will see increases, as well.

On average, Divinity School tuitions will increase by 4 percent across seven degree programs, Lange said. Tuition at the Fuqua School of Business, which varies substantially between six degree programs, will increase by 3.5 percent. Sanford School of Public Policy tuitions will increase by

CHRONICLE GRAPHIC BY CHRIS DALL

On average, undergraduate tuition increased 4.46 percent per year between 2002 and 2012, with the overall cost of attendance increasing, as well.

2 percent, School of Law tuitions will increase by 3.7 percent across multiple programs, and tuitions for the Nicholas School for the Environment will increase by 3.6 percent across multiple programs.

Ph.D. program tuitions will increase by an average of 3.9 percent.

Junior Melissa Miller said she does not see the necessity of increasing tuition year after year. ”They already make us pay so much,” she noted. “That being said, as long as they also increase the amount of money they give to students on financial aid—me included—I am okay with it.”

Schoenfeld also noted that amidst the University’s continued recovery from the 2008 financial crisis, Duke is still committed to its need-blind admissions policy and

meeting the full demonstrated need of every admitted student.

“The fact that we have need-blind admission justifies [the increase] as Duke continues to search for the best and brightest students it can find,” sophomore Josh Waldman said. “College tuition is the next bubble that is going to pop in terms of the economy, but I don’t believe Duke is unique in its extremely high tuition costs.”

Although tuition has steadily increased in recent years, the state of financial aid is “doing better,” said Alison Rabil, assistant vice provost and director of financial aid. The number and size of financial aid packages, which has spiked since the financial crisis, seems to be SEE TUITION ON PAGE 4

EATING from page 1 information, the multiple agents involved in diagnosis and treatment of the disorders and the tendency of eating disorders to be underreported.

Paula Scataloni, coordinator of eating and body image concerns for CAPS and adviser for NEDA Week, believes many students develop eating disorders based on specific discouraging mentalities.

“If we have a climate at Duke where vulnerabilities are not allowed and students are so busy that relationships become secondary, it can become easy for one to begin to have a relationship with food instead of people, or to feel deficits in their relationships with people and use food to curb those deficits,” Scataloni explained.

Scataloni believes the issue has kept many students silent or in the dark about what disordered eating actually is.

“This issue has particularly a lot of stigma,” Scataloni said. “The way people eat here is so normalized that they don’t even know they have eating disorders.”

Junior Flora Muglia, Panhel executive vice

TUITION from page 3 leveling out, she added. How the 20132014 academic year fits into this trend, however, cannot be verified until all students’ financial aid packages have been finalized.

Vigdor noted that even though many universities commit to providing financial aid, increasing tuition numbers may give potential applicants “sticker shock.” This sometimes pushes them not to apply.

“This is the problem that’s kind of vexing higher education, particularly elite

president, said this issue has a large impact on Duke sorority life.

“It’s a really big issue for a lot of women, and as the largest organization of women on campus, we thought that this could be a real tangible way to make a true impact on campus,” Muglia said.

She added that she hopes new sorority members learn about the prevalence and impact of eating disorders sooner rather than later.

Kate Pilewski, a dietitian at Student Health, said she hopes students engage in important conversations on the topic.

“Talking about a healthy body image and how to properly nourish your body is important so that we can foster a healthy, supportive environment here at Duke,” Pilewski wrote in an email Feb. 12.

Scataloni said she also hopes to see the trend of actively involved students continue, and for students to become aware of all of the resources available to them for dealing with body image concerns.

“No one wants to confront someone with a disorder. The problem is that if you don’t confront them, you’re enabling them,” Scataloni said. higher education,” Vigdor said. “We know that the [Free Application for Federal Student Aid] is insane—there are lots of families that look at that form, and they just throw up their hands and give up. So long as they do that, we’ve got a problem.”

So that “sticker shock” does not turn some students away from applying, Waldman said the University should emphasize its need-blind policy more.

“I don’t think [sticker shock] will necessarily turn people off from applying,” Waldman said. “It will force Duke to shift its focus even more to pushing need-blind admission to potential applicants.”

STREID from page 1 submissions a year, and a panel of four chapel representatives choose the strongest piece, said director of worship Meghan Feldmeyer, a member of the committee.

“This year they were all really lovely, and it makes me sad to turn the others down,” Feldmeyer said.

Streid said she had dreamed about giving the sermon since she was a freshman.

“It’s been a special pulpit for me since so much wisdom has come from there, so the thought that I’m going to be up there is very strange and really thrilling and really humbling,” Streid said on the Saturday before she gave the sermon.

Like any self-respecting Blue Devil, Streid wrote her sermon while black tenting in Krzyzewskiville for the Duke men’s basketball game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In a theological turn, she and her friends named their tent ‘The Tent Kommandments.’

“Commandments spelled with a ‘K,’” she said.

Streid noted that she was worried about the quality of her speech because she wrote the sermon outside very early in the morning.

“It said what I wanted to say, but I had kind of written it in KVille at four o’clock in the morning, so I wasn’t sure what the quality was like at all,” she said. “It was really early in the morning, and everyone in my tent was asleep. I was in the cold and I was all bundled up. My laptop was plugged in the external outlet outside Wilson [Recreation Center], so it was kind of strange.”

Despite her fears about the sermon’s quality, attendees said Streid’s speech was very moving.

“She was willing to discuss the end of life frankly and compassionately,” Rodney Wynk-

oop, director of chapel music and professor of the practice of music, said.

For her sermon, Streid chose to speak about death and the limitations of modern medicine. She spoke about the human obsession with death and prolonging life through the aggressive use of medicine, relating it to a passage from scripture—Luke 13:31-35.

“Death is scary, watching the death of our loved ones scarier,” she said during the sermon.

She said the death rate, however, has been always been 100 percent, and it is a fate everyone will eventually have to face. She ended her sermon by speaking about the eventuality of death in the context of the Jesus and describing death as an Exodus.

“She left us thinking with the last line,” senior Joan Nambuba said.

Elaine Sembers from Pennsylvania was visiting her sister in North Carolina when she stopped to attend service at the Chapel.

Tearing up, she said that Stried’s sermon had special meaning for her because she had just recently lost her parents.

“It was a beautiful sermon and enlightening, and it gives me more faith to get though the next… whatever,” Sembers said. “It’s difficult but her words were very inspiring and very helpful.“ Christy Lohr Sapp, associate dean for religious life, said that she knew that several members of the congregation were dealing with terminal illness in their families and that people from the Medical Center also attended the service. Lohr Sapp said she hoped these attendees gained hope and comfort from Stried’s service.

Before going to medical school, Streid will take two years off to work in public health.

“I just want to spend several years in service, exploring health care in a way I wouldn’t be able to while wearing the doctor’s hat,” she said.

even when other students are facing the same struggles.

By training students to speak out on the issues facing them, the program helps its participants find their voice.

In doing so, the program can help facilitate a shift in campus culture by making Duke a place where students can freely share their discomforts, struggles and frustrations. This in turn facilitates a stronger intellectual climate on campus.

Write(H)ers also promotes professional skill building in the emerging field of activist journalism. In a world of change.org petitions, political documentaries and social action campaigning, activist causes are constantly gathering steam. To stand out among the constantly

growing amount of issues, it is important to convey one’s thoughts clearly and passionately. Write(H)ers affords its participants the chance to learn how to adapt to this field through a combination of workshops, seminars and experiential learning exercises. In doing so, the program provides a comprehensive training on a skill that will only grow in importance.

The professional possibilities opened up by the program are eclipsed by the substantive contribution participants’ voices can make to a wide array of social causes.

In its goal of exposing more undergraduates to journalism and feminist issues, Write(H) ers facilitates social change by putting these issues on a more visible platform. While

this goal is hardly exclusive to Writ(H)ers, the program serves as a strong example of the benefits of including student voices in discussions of local, national and global issues.

Write(H)ers is successful because it found a niche and uses its resources to train students in a certain area, but the hybrid educationexperiential learning model it employs can be easily adapted to other media endeavors on campus. Student Affairs and the Office of Undergraduate Admissions are just some of the many campus communities that utilize blogs as a new source of communication. Looking at the strengths of Writ(H)ers may make their efforts even more successful.

THE CHRONICLE

BOARD from page 1 concerns about employment prospects, but application numbers to Duke Law have held steady compared to previous years, Levi noted in an email Saturday. Duke Law has devoted more resources to training students for changes in the legal field, especially in more specific areas of legal practice.

“The Trustees urged us to take full advantage of the strengths of other parts of the University,” Levi said. “We do so now and will continue to look for opportunities to engage in multidisciplinary teaching, research and problem solving in the future.”

Levi also presented employment statistics for law graduates. He noted that the data demonstrated the different outcomes offered by top law schools. Duke Law—ranked 11 by U.S. News and World Report—and other top law schools continue to yield significantly better employment opportunities and attract applicants than lower-ranked schools, despite the contracted law job market.

Wagoner said the placement data was a good sign, but the salaries for top law school graduates are not quite as strong as it was during the economic boom. The national trend in declining applications can have major ramifications for law school offerings in the future.

“The question becomes ‘What are your strategies to ensure that you have a viable, dynamic, financially solvent law school?’”

Wagoner said. “Dean Levi laid out some interesting potential lines of business for the Law School that will enhance the reputation of the school and the kinds of customers that might get value from different programs at Duke.”

The value of higher education The discussions during the retreat reinforced the idea that the value of higher edu-

cation cannot be assessed through a narrow framework but through holistic measures that consider the long-term personal gains a Duke education can offer, Brodhead noted.

Surveys of alumni and parents, for example, are important indicators of the benefits of Duke.

“No one knows the value of their education the day they graduate, so the retrospective surveys are important to us,” Brodhead said. “There is a lot of public discussion, and there are questions that make sense for some kinds of universities that don’t make sense for a university like Duke.”

People should consider employment prospects when valuing higher education, Brodhead noted. Census data indicates that a college degree is the strongest correlate for stable employment and high income, but the trend among some state universities when relating income data to undergraduate majors is discouraging, he added.

“If somebody spends three years traveling the world having experiences that then enable them to write an amazing book, their income is going to be zero in those three years,” Brodhead said. “That doesn’t mean there is zero value for those experiences.”

In February 2012, the Board retreat focused on the cost of higher education. Both this year and in 2012, the Board increased tuition 4 percent.

Value and cost are related in terms of assessing the future of higher education as a whole, as well as the decision to pursue it, Brodhead said. A Duke education today offers more diverse, enriching experiences for students than in previous years. As a consequence, the value is increased, but the level of investment needed and costs incurred also increase. Increases in tuition cover some of the increasing expenses, but they are matched by more generous financial aid provided to more than 50 percent of undergraduates.

The Fannie Mitchell

Given these trends, Brodhead said he believes the growing value of a Duke education has outpaced the increased cost.

The discussion about value generated ideas about ways to enhance the educational experience and ensure that students remain engaged with what they learn, Wagoner noted.

‘A positive more than a negative’ Although administrators recently announced another delay for the opening of Duke Kunshan University, discussions about the new China campus were not part of the Board agenda this weekend beyond the routine update.

DKU has generated interest among faculty members who are interested in developing academic programs in China, Brodhead said, adding that the delays have allowed time to build up more ideas and discussions about course offerings.

“In that sense, the delays have been a positive more than a negative,” Brodhead said.

Wagoner noted that the construction relies on the partnership with the Chinese government, in which the language barrier and other cultural differences can affect communication and lead to some delays, citing his experience with General Motors when it entered the Chinese market and faced some difficulties when he was the company’s CEO. Wagoner added that Chinese people want to learn about American culture, which has built demand for American higher education and reinforced DKU’s importance in the region.

“Very little Duke money is being spent [on DKU],” Wagoner said. “Meanwhile, the value of the option is growing, and this relationship [with the Chinese government] is getting to second, third, fourth and fifth levels of depth of understanding.”

Over eight years, beginning fiscal year

2012, Duke expects to spend about $41 million dollars in operating costs for DKU. The University has also committed more than $8 million for construction oversight.

Past the halfway mark The Board also heard an update on Duke Forward.

The Duke Forward capital campaign—officially launched in September after collecting $1.325 billion in a two-year silent phase—has raised $1.54 billion to date. Its goal is to raise $3.25 billion by July 2017.

The campaign has benefited from regional launches, the first of which took place in Atlanta in early February, Brodhead said. Duke will also host events in San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C. and London in the next few months.

The events offer seminars and lectures from members of the University community, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations.

Students who participate in the regional launches are able to share their experiences with alumni, making the conversation “80 times” more meaningful, Brodhead noted.

“Students are the best ambassadors in these kinds of contexts,” Wagoner added.

In other business The Trustees approved the promotion of international comparative studies from an undergraduate major to a program. The change—greenlighted by Arts and Sciences Council in November—will allow ICS to make its own faculty appointments.

The division of neurology in the School of Medicine was approved to become a department, which better positions it to gain research funding and hire faculty.

The Board also approved renovations to Gilbert-Addoms residence hall on East Campus to add common space and make the dormitory more accessible.

Duke earns ACC regular-season title Penn runs past Duke in 2nd half

by Matt Pun THE CHRONICLE

COLLEGE PARK, Md.—In her first game without teammate Chelsea Gray Friday, freshman guard Alexis Jones found herself on the bench less than two minutes in after picking up two quick fouls.

When the No. 5 Blue Devils visited No. 8 Maryland Jones DUKE 75 Sunday, made sure to stick 59 around a bit lonMD ger, and she made her presence felt, racking up six first-half assists and helping Duke to take control of the game early.

Jones finished with a career-high nine assists to go along with 15 points and eight rebounds, leading Duke (26-1, 16-0 in the ACC) past Maryland (22-4, 13-2) 75-59 to clinch its fourth-consecutive ACC regular season title at the Comcast Center.

“I’m just really proud of Lex,” Blue Devil head coach Joanne P. McCallie said.

“She’s been a leader and a competitor for us all year long. She’s been very consistent, but she has different levels to her game, and I think today she went to another level….To have a freshman point guard come into this environment—terrific crowd, it’s great to see—and really do what she did is almost unheard of really.”

With Gray’s season-ending right knee cap dislocation suffered in the team’s 8170 victory against Wake Forest Feb. 17, Duke lost a point guard who led the ACC in assists, averaging 5.1 per game prior to her injury.

freshman had Friday night’s performance fresh on her mind.

“They told me that I could not get two fouls in the first half, and I knew I couldn’t get two fouls in the first half, so I kind of played it really soft on defense,” Jones said. “I tried to stay out of foul trouble as much as I can.”

The cautious effort on defense paid off on the other end of the floor as Jones helped to pick apart the Terrapin defense,

“I thought the Penn kids were hungrier,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “They executed what they needed to do and were the better team.”

Unable to cling on to its 7-6 halftime lead, Duke (2-3) was outscored 8-2 in the second half by the Quakers (1-0), who took more than twice as many shots as the Blue Devils in the final two quarters. Duke pulled the game within one in the fourth period, but Penn scored four unanswered goals to put the game away for good.

“The Penn kids played with great emotion and passion,” Danowski said. “When they delivered a blow, we didn’t fight back. We were very passive.”

After scoring one goal during the course of a quiet rookie season, sophomore Isaac Bock led the Quakers in scoring with four goals off the bench. Penn senior captain Tim Schwalje

“We had an All-American point guard out for the season, which has never happened in the history of the ACC,” McCallie said. “That’s never happened, so you can imagine how teams would feel if they lost their very best player.”

Adding to the Blue Devils’ struggles, Jones got into foul trouble and ended the game with more turnovers than assists.

Program records set at Women finish third, ACC Championships men fifth at ACC meet

THE CHRONICLE

As the Duke women swimming and diving teams and the men’s diving team closed the ACC Championships at the Greensboro Aquatic Center Saturday, they popped more than a few swims.

During the four-day meet, the women’s team set 13 program records and finished seventh in final team standings—two spots above last year. The men’s diving squad also featured the most decorated diver in the history of the conference: Junior Nick McCrory, who earned the Most Valuable Male Diver recognition for the third time in his career this weekend.

“We had an absolutely terrific weekend, obviously breaking 13 school records speaks to the kind of performance we were having all weekend,” head coach David Colella said. “We had a number of NCAA provisional times, and things that we can build on as we go into the future. And we’ve got a great recruiting class coming in next year, and a lot of people are returning, so we’re pretty excited about the performances and equally excited about the future.”

For junior Christine Wixted, the magic number was two. The Colorado native broke two school records in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke with two silver medal finishes, and she earned two All-ACC accolades during the meet. Beyond her individual accomplishments, Wixted also helped the Blue Devils earn two school records in relays.

Wixted, alongside junior Lauren Weaver

The Blue Devils left the 2013 ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships with program-best finishes for both the men and women. The women’s team closed out the competition in third place with 82 points behind Clemson’s 141.5 and Florida State’s 100 points. The men’s 52-point total earned them a fifth-place finish in Blacksburg, Va. “I think it was a great effort for both teams and fifth for the men is very similar [to] third for the women,” Blue Devil head coach Norm Ogilvie said.

The Duke team finished the meet with eight All-ACC selections, three ACC champions and three school records.

The Blue Devils were motivated on their first day of competition by the outstanding performance of junior Miray Seward, who recorded a second-place finish in the pentathlon.

“A lot of people came out and ran personal bests,” Ogilvie said. “They just competed really well and they fed off each others’ energy. It all started the very first day when Miray Seward put us off to a great start.”

Ogilvie also praised the performance of Duke’s Ian Rock. The multi-event athlete set a personal best in the pole vault, launching 16-feet, 9.25 inches to finish sixth in the pole vault on his way to a firstplace finish overall in the heptathlon, beating three North Carolina athletes who fin-

Weaver took All-ACC accolades for her third-place—and also school-record setting—performance in the 50 freestyle with a time of 22.27. She also broke the school record for the 100 freestyle twice during the weekend, with times of 50.20 and 50.18.

Duke also saw senior Cydney Ross earn her first ACC title in the women’s 800 meters, clocking in a time of 2:06.81.

Despite the tight packing that led to two athletes’ falls in the race, Ross was able to maintain focus and take the lead with about 100 meters left, and she never looked back.

The third Blue Devil to earn an ACC title was Juliet Bottorff, who is familiar with the big stage. The senior, who won the 2011 NCAA Outdoor title in the 10km, won the women’s 5km run finishing in 16:15.83, about three seconds in front of Florida State’s Kayleigh Tyerman, who finished in second. “[Juliet Bottorff] has the ACC time record in that event,” Ogilvie said. “She is definitely the boss in the 5,000.... She hung in the back and then just took over and cruised in the last mile.”

Blue Devil Dominick Robinson clocked a personal best in the mile in the preliminary rounds Friday in 4:09.88 and earned valuable points for Duke in the final race with a time of 4:10.58, which was good for a seventh place finish in the event.

Sulaimon leads Duke past BC

89

by Michael Schreiner THE CHRONICLE

Sunday’s game at Cameron Indoor Stadium got off to a slow start. Both Duke and Boston College were sloppy with the ball, committing a couple turnovers each, and players on both sides seemed to have trouble securing loose balls. After more than three minutes of play, the Blue Devils trailed the Eagles 5-3, but neither team really looked like it was winning.

Then Boston College forward Ryan Anderson reigned in pass at the block, gathered himself for a dunk, and was emphatically denied by Mason Plumlee, who met Anderson above the rim to notch his only block of the game. Rasheed Sulaimon grabbed the loose ball in the corner, and the Blue Devils quickly converted a layup on the other end of the court to tie the game at five. But from that point on, there was no ambiguity as to who had the upper hand on Coach K Court.

“I don’t think there are many teams in the country right now that could come into this building and beat Duke,” Eagles head coach Steve Donahue said. “They are just playing terrific basketball.”

After the slow start, No. 6 Duke (24-3, 11-3 in the ACC) used defensive pressure and some hot shooting to pull away from Boston College (12-15, 4-10 in the ACC) and turn in not just a win, but also a dominating performance. Led by freshman Sulaimon and Plumlee, the Blue Devils beat the Eagles 89-68 at Cameron Indoor Stadium Sunday.

Sulaimon—in a continuation of the guard’s recent scoring streak—led the Blue Devils with 27 points, a career high for the freshman. In addition to a converting a bevy of mid-range jumpers and floaters, Sulaimon hit 3-of-5 3-point attempts. He is now averaging 18.3 points per game during the team’s last four contests.

“I’m just trusting in myself,” Sulaimon said of his recent play. “[I’m] being aggressive, taking my opportunities when I see them, trying not to force anything and just always trying to make the right play.”

Following Plumlee’s rejection, Duke went on a 12-0 run to go ahead 15-5—tak-

“They had great intensity defensively after the first TV timeout and the rest of the half,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “In the second half, I thought we started the half real well, but when you get that lead you would like to have them play at that level defensively throughout, but we didn’t.”

Duke turned in an accurate shooting performance in the win, hitting 53.8 percent of its field goals and going 7-of-15 from behind the 3-point line. The team also finished well in traffic—converting five three-point plays in the first half alone.

low freshman Amile Jefferson—who also recorded a career-high with 14 points—for their ability to fight through contact and convert.

Mason Plumlee earned his 16th doubledouble of the year with 19 points and 15 boards and grabbed his 1,000th career rebound on defense early in the first half.

“Mason has been the most important player for any team in our league this year,” Krzyzewski said. “Mason has been the guy…. In the second half when we went to him he was like a battering ram— playing through getting fouled and kicking the ball out.”

Boston College was plagued by foul trouble throughout the first half. A product of Duke’s aggressive play, the Eagles found themselves in the bonus after just seven and a half minutes and finished the game with 25 fouls. They had no answer for Plumlee, who drew 10 fouls alone. He was able to capitalize, knocking down 11-of-15 free throws.

“We had matchups that where we felt like they couldn’t guard us, especially going to Mason down low,” Seth Curry said.

“They had to do certain things when he got the ball in the paint—Mason always does a good job of getting us into the bonus early.”

In addition to Plumlee, Sulaimon and Jefferson, guards Quinn Cook and Seth Curry were also in double figures.

Facing an active Duke squad that at times employed a full-court press, Boston College committed 16 turnovers—including 13 in the first half—and rarely got an open look at the basket out of their halfcourt set.

“I felt like we could get in passing lanes and disrupt them and create turnovers,” Seth Curry said. “Once we did that, we got the crowd into the game and got open shots.”

Instead, the Eagles relied on secondchance opportunities and shots from beyond the arc for a large portion of their scoring. They finished the game with 11 second-chance points and a 5-of-13 effort from 3-point land.

Looking ahead, life without Ryan Kelly may soon come to an end. After the game he said that he will likely return either on senior night against Virginia Tech or in the season finale at North Carolina.

27 points Rasheed Sulaimon scored a career-high 27 points on 10-of-15 shooting against Boston College, leading Duke to victory.

The Kelly effect: Who has stepped up?

by Tom Gieryn THE CHRONICLE

Since Ryan Kelly went down with a foot injury 12 games ago, No. 6 Duke has not been fighting to chase down the No. 1 ranking that they have held on and off in recent months, but rather just to keep its proverbial head above water.

“First of all, we’ve been trying to survive, which no one believes,” Krzyzewski said.

“We’re not paying attention to the conference race. We’re not paying attention to seeds. The only thing we’re paying attention to is the next game.”

Despite the blow that Krzyzewski’s talent pool took when Kelly got hurt, the team has done more than just survive, however. It has not been the unstoppable force that went undefeated with Kelly in action, and has taken a few lumps along the way, even in games that it ended up winning. But for all the inconsistency and close calls, Duke went 9-3 without Kelly and never slipped out of the top 10 in the country.

Now Kelly’s return—which had been an abstraction without a timeframe—appears to be drawing near as the senior said Sunday he intends to return sometime during the season’s final week.

While Kelly has been dressing in khakis and quarter-zip sweaters, other players have made strides given the extra opportunities.

This progress was on display in Sunday afternoon’s 89-68 win against Boston College at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“Other guys have stepped up,” Kelly said after the game, “and I believe when I come back, it can help us to another level. Those guys will continue to step up. We have a multitude of guys that have played in big games now that might not have, and that’s exciting.”

Rasheed Sulaimon and Amile Jefferson each set career highs in points against the Eagles, and that duo, along with junior Josh Hairston, have all demonstrated marked development during the 12 games that Kelly has missed.

Sulaimon may not come to mind as one of the players who would have stepped into Kelly’s shoes, because the 6-foot-4 wing plays a different position while utilizing a very different skill set.

But Sulaimon’s aggressive style, athleticism and continued maturation have led the freshman to reap the benefits of an increased role in the offense.

Overall, the currently healthy members of the roster have seen a 21-percent improvement in points per minute since Kelly got hurt, which roughly reflects the fact that at any given time, Kelly represented one of five players on the floor and thus took about a fifth of the scoring opportunities.

Sulaimon has absorbed an outsized proportion of the extra scoring load, though, taking his scoring average from 14 points per 40 minutes with Kelly to 20.6 without him, a 47-percent improvement.

Sulaimon’s development is particularly crucial for the Blue Devils, since unlike Jefferson and Hairston, the rookie shooting guard will not have to give up minutes to make room for the returning Kelly. If he can maintain the efficiency improvements despite ceding some scoring opportunities—which is typically not difficult to do, since in general the worst scoring opportunities are the ones that a player will pass up as he becomes more selective— that makes Duke’s starting five an even greater threat.

Jefferson, who posted 14 points in just 21 minutes of action while making 5-of-7 shots from the floor and 4-of-5 free throws Sunday, has not seen the same per-minute improvement as Sulaimon but has nonetheless taken an important step forward.

Jefferson has moved from 11.9 points per 40 minutes to 14.1, an 18-percent uptick that is the product of the natural redistribution of scoring. But he has kept his production consistent while seeing a significantly expanded role, which not all players can manage.

The Philadelphia native has been by far the biggest recipient of Kelly’s minutes, see-

ing eight more minutes of action per game since Kelly went down, and he has kept his production levels up while being counted on more frequently.

“I’ve definitely been putting the pounds on,” Jefferson said. “I’ve gained a lot of weight since the summer, since I’ve been here. And hopefully it’s starting to show, especially with being able to finish, being able to bang with guys that might be bigger.”

Hairston has not played as many of the new power forward minutes as Jefferson and did not have as much impact Sunday with just three points, but he has led the team in productive improvement. The junior has more than doubled his per-minute output during the past 12 games, from 5.3 points per 40 minutes to 12.5, while providing a more physical alternative to the wiry Jefferson.

Both Jefferson and Hairston will likely see their chances reduced back closer to prior levels, but Krzyzewski now has a dozen games’ worth of proof that the bench duo can contribute if given playing time. Greater confidence in the reserves will give Duke the flexibility to rest Kelly and Mason Plumlee more frequently, especially in the postseason crunch of two games every weekend. It also offers Krzyzewski options in the event that Plumlee’s down game against Maryland repeats itself for a player who has been relied upon so heavily to provide both minutes and production.

The news of Kelly’s impending return is in itself bigger news than the changes that have taken place during the senior star’s absence, but with the rust and adjustment period that may accompany his comeback—whenever it finally occurs—the development that has taken place while he has been out could prove crucial, especially in postseason settings.

With Kelly back and the progress on the part of Kelly’s replacements, the Blue Devils may be able to once again aim to do more than simply survive.

11/15 FTs Boston College fouled Mason Plumlee 10 times, and the senior made the Eagles pay, converting on 11-of-15 attempts from the charity stripe.

Duke sweeps Princeton Big second-half run despite slow starts leads Duke past FSU

THE CHRONICLE

THE CHRONICLE

The No. 3 Blue Devils (8-1) swept Princeton 7-0 at Sheffield Indoor Stadium Saturday, battling through a slow start in doubles to maintain focus in singles and push past a surprisingly tough Tigers team. “For us to be really good, we want teams like Princeton to play really well against us,�

Ashworth said. “We don’t want them to just roll over, and they didn’t.�

After being moved to the No. 3 doubles slot, sophomore Annie Mulholland and junior Marianne Jodoin got off to a slow start against the Tigers’ Amanda Muliawan and Katherine Flanigan, getting down 5-0 early on. Lengthy points and aggressive poaching at the net allowed the pair to battle back to within two games, but they ultimately could not close out the set, dropping the set 8-5. “They play better when they play with a lot of emotion,� Ashworth said.

The doubles point came down to junior Hanna Mar and sophomore Monica Turewicz, who remained neck-and-neck with the Tigers for the entirety of the match. But an ace out wide and a six-ball rally won at the net allowed Duke to climb to a 7-5 lead against Princeton’s (4-2) Lindsay Graff—ranked No. 85 in the nation in singles—and Monica Chow. The pair eventually managed to break Graff’s serve at the game’s eighth deuce to win 8-6 and secure the doubles point of the Blue Devils.

On the singles side, senior captain No. 64 Mary Clayton, at the No. 4 singles spot, made quick work of Princeton’s Monica Chow 6-0, 6-3, putting the first singles win on the board

After a sloppy first half, Duke found its rhythm and dominated the second period to take down Florida State 61-50 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The No. 5 Blue Devils (25-1, 15-0 in the ACC) registered their lowest-scoring first half of the season, but 50 went on a 21-4 run FSU the final period DUKE 61 in to knock off the No. 19 Seminoles (20-6, 10-5 ACC) and remain perfect in conference play. “It was a nice battle for our team,� Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “We can certainly play a lot better. Shooting 34 percent isn’t one of our better games, but I loved our grit, our fight.�

In their first game back after losing junior guard Chelsea Gray to a dislocated kneecap, the Blue Devils definitely missed their assists leader and floor general.

When freshman point guard Alexis Jones went to the bench with two fouls less than two minutes into the game, Duke played the rest of the opening period without it two primary ball handlers.

The Blue Devils subsequently turned the ball over 15 times and shot a season-low 25.8 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes.

If not for junior guard Chloe Wells’ 3-pointer in the half’s waning seconds, Duke would have trailed heading into the locker room. “We are a new team, it’s a new season,� McCallie said. “I feel like we just rushed layups

that we should have made. We rushed a lot of shots. None of us can explain that. The important thing is that we go on as a team. We focus on this team being great.�

After coming out flat for the first eight minutes of the second half, the Blue Devils began to make their run and bury the Seminoles under a wave of defensive pressure.

Buoyed by a large and unusually raucous crowd, Duke’s full-court pressure and aggressive half-court defense began to produce easy transition baskets and trips to the foul line. “I could definitely feel the energy,� sophomore center Elizabeth Williams said. “We were getting so many stops defensively that it got the crowd involved.�

With 12:06 left to play, Wells received a pass from junior guard Tricia Liston and knocked down a 3-pointer to put the Blue Devils up by six. Jones then stole the ball on two consecutive possessions, allowing Duke to go up 38-28 for the first double-digit edge of the game. “I thought when Duke closed the gap and started making that run and pulled ahead, the crowd made the difference,� Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. “I think [Cameron Indoor] is the best arena in the ACC as far as the volume on the road. I thought it really took us out of our game a little bit.

Certainly we didn’t get the production that we wanted.�

That run only continued as Haley Peters put home a layup with 7:24 to play, giving Duke a 20-point lead. The Seminoles made SEE FSU ON PAGE 7

fromstaffreports Duke fencing wins beats just one at the Temple Duals Despite the Duke men’s determination to redeem themselves against No. 1 Penn State at this past weekend’s Temple Duals, it was the women who walked away with the only win.

The Blue Devil women (16-9) took down the No. 5 Nittany Lions in a close call, eking out a 14-13 victory. Although the victory hinged on a single bout, it carried added weight as it came shortly after the Duke team took down Penn State 16-11 at the Duke Home Meet just two weeks earlier. Epee Sarah Collins joined senior captain and fellow epee Emily D’Agostino in completing a perfect 6-0 bout record against the Nittany Lions, while their freshman teammate, Isabella Barna only dropped one bout to the Penn Sate team.

The Penn State win was the only one the Blue Devil men or women earned all weekend. Although the women’s epee squad managed to hold their own, picking up wins against Penn State and No. 9 Temple, both the foil and saber sqauds suffered defeats from both schools as well as from No. 2 Princ-

eton and No. 6 St. John’s.

On the men’s side, despite showing eagerness to notch a win against No. 1 Nittany Lions, the Duke team proved unable to turn its goals into reality as it fell to Penn State, No. 3 Princeton and No. 5 St. John’s.

Duke baseball sweeps first home series of the season In the first homestand of Chris Pollard’s tenure as head coach, Duke swept Bucknell this weekend at Jack Coombs Field. The Blue Devil pitching staff dominated the Bison, allowing just one run in the three games.

The second game of the series ended in dramatic fashion with the game tied 0-0 in the bottom of the ninth. With two outs in the frame, junior third baseman Jordan Betts knocked a two-run walk-off home run to left field, giving Duke a 2-0 win and ensuring a series victory. Senior right fielder Jeff Kremer began the rally with a one-out walk.

Sophomore southpaw Trent Swart tied a career-high with

10 strikeouts in seven scoreless innings in the first game of the season, leading Duke to a 9-0 victory in the series’ first game.

Swart retired the final 17 batters he faced, allowing just two total hits and did not issue a walk.

The Blue Devils finally yielded a run in the final game of the series but left with a 4-1 victory as junior right-hander Robert Huber improved to 2-0 on the season. Kremer was the catalyst for the offense once again, going 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored.

Duke women’s lacrosse loses its undefeated record No. 7 Duke lost its first game of the season Sunday in College Park, Md. falling 15-6 to No. 4 Maryland.

The Terrapins ran out to an early lead, finishing the first half with a commanding 9-2 advantage. Although the Blue Devils finaly came to life coming out of the break with a 4-1 run, the Terrapins quickly responded with the final five goals of the game.

TRACK from page 3 “Both the favorites came through as well as the underdogs [in this meet],� Ogilvie said. “A lot of good things happened across all areas.�

Duke will travel to South Bend, Ind. to participate in the Alex Wilson Invitational next weekend. The invite will mark one of two “last-chance� meets for Blue Devils to earn a spot in the NCAA Indoor Championships March 8-9 in Fayetteville, Ariz. “Juliet [Bottorff] will make it [to the NCAA Championships], but for everyone else who is on the bubble, they have to get out here and run again,� Ogilvie said. “Hopefully we will end up getting a lot of selections for the NCAA Championships.�

W. TENNIS from page 6 lead against the Tigers’ Katie Goepel, but dropped the following five games, sending them into a tiebreak in the first set.

Goepel’s consistency at the baseline gave Jodoin some trouble, but she was able to eke an 8-6 tiebreak win and follow that up with a 6-1 second-set victory.

A battle ensued on court one, as sophomore No. 45 Ester Goldfeld was deadlocked with Graff at the No. 1 singles spot.

Goldfeld fought her way to a 7-5 victory in the first set, but could not avoid a tiebreak in the second set. Goldfeld dominated the tiebreak 7-1, putting up the seventh and final point for Duke. “That was a typical Ester singles match right there,� Ashworth said. “She gets up, and then loses her serve, but when it comes to the end of the match she plays a good tiebreaker.�

Although it was not as stellar of a performance as she was hoping for, Goldfeld is satisfied that she could pull out a win for the team. “I was getting a little annoyed with myself, honestly,� Goldfeld said. “I didn’t feel like I was playing that great and my opponent was playing well, and even though I wasn’t really happy with the way I played, I played well enough to win today.�

FSU from page 6 a late run, drawing within seven with 1:40 remaining, but the Blue Devils prevented the comeback and held on for their 15th-straight ACC win.

Duke limited its mistakes in the second half, keeping careless ball handling to a minimum and looking more like the Blue Devil squad dominating conference opponents prior to Gray’s injury.

Starting in Gray’s place, junior guard Richa Jackson played increased minutes and provided a spark on the offensive end, finishing with eight points, four rebounds and only two turnovers.

Wells also came up big for Duke, posting 15 points, three rebounds and a season-high six steals in 30 minutes of play coming off the bench. The Colton, Calif. native combined with Liston to shoot 6-for-10 from behind the arc, while Florida State managed to hit just 2-of-10 3-point attempts.

Both Williams and Haley Peters stepped up in the post, leading Duke to win the rebounding battle 51-39. Williams led Duke with 20 points, also adding 13 boards, while Peters pulled in a team-high 14 off the glass. “[Peters] is a woman of steel,â€? McCallie said. “She was frustrated with her offensive game so she goes out and gets 14 rebounds‌. I don’t know too many people who get 14 rebounds when offensively their game isn’t where they wanted it to be.

That is one mean lady.�

M. LACROSSE from page 2 had a hand in more than half of the Quakers’ tallies, notching a hat trick and five assists.

“Having some of the top midfield guys graduate last year was an opportunity for [Isaac] to step up, and he did that on Friday night,” Schwalje said. “As a team we played fast and physical just like we wanted to.”

Duke junior Jordan Wolf scored the first of his two goals less than a minute into the game, giving the Blue Devils a short-lived advantage before Penn responded with a 5-1 run during a span of 5:09. Behind a balanced scoring effort, Duke chipped away at the deficit and took an 8-6 lead fewer than four minutes into the third quarter, but the Quakers exploded for four unanswered tallies. Duke junior Christian Walsh answered by capitalizing on a man-up opportunity to bring the Blue Devils within one.

Duke appeared poised to stage a comeback, but Penn did not let the Blue Devils inch any closer to victory. Senior captain Anthony Santomo opened the Quakers’ 4-0 run in exciting fashion, sending the home crowd into a frenzy after he grabbed a loose ball on the defensive end, sprinted down the field and found the back of the net. The Blue Devils had no answer, dipping below .500 with the loss.

“We’re disappointed in that I don’t know how much fight this team has,” Danowski said.

Duke will need all the fight that it can muster as it prepares to host No. 1 Maryland this weekend. The Terrapins dashed the Blue Devils’ NCAA championship hopes last season when they defeated Duke 16-10 in the NCAA semifinals.

The first of Jordan Wolf’s two goals gave Duke an early lead, but Penn stormed back in the second half to upset the Blue Devils.

program records in the 100 backstroke and two relays. She started off the 200-medley relay, which also included Eckhart, Wixted and Weaver, which ended with a record-setting time of 1:39.80. McCarroll and Weaver, with senior Emily Barber and sophomore Ali Horn, also set a school record in the 400 medley relay.

Freshman Kiera Molloy broke the school record for the 400 individual medley twice with times of 4:20.53 and 4:19.76. Molloy was on the 800 freestyle relay with junior Kelly Hagerty, Horn and Ye, which grabbed another school record with a time of 7:22.12.

On the men’s side, McCrory became the first male diver to earn a sweep of three diving crowns in the men’s platform competition. He also dove for first-place finishes in the 1- and 3-meter springboard, bringing him up to a total of seven ACC diving crowns.

“Nick McCrory sweeping the boards is the first time ever in ACC history that any diver has done that… [and] has more individual titles for any diver in ACC history,” Colella said. “It’s obviously great to have someone like Nick be back with the program. We missed him last year, and it was a nice way to get a good start on the coming week.”

The Blue Devil men’s swimming team will return to Greensboro Wednesday for the Men’s ACC Championships.

and Duke found a lot of open looks.

After staying neck-and-neck with Maryland through the first five minutes of the game, the Blue Devils put together a 9-0 run in which four different players scored.

“They did a terrific job sharing the basketball and making some really good plays,” Terrapin head coach Brenda Frese said.

Jones continued dishing out assists, including a nolook feed to junior forward Haley Peters in the second half, adding three more points to her tally. Jones shot just 5-for-19 from the field but connected on 2-of-3 attempts from long range. The Blue Devils finished 6-for-12 on 3-pointers.

And Jones’ decision to play softer defense was compensated by Duke’s team defensive effort. The Terrapins finished with 16 turnovers.

“They had a great gameplan,” Frese said. “We became a jump-shooting team. I thought we took too many shots from the perimeter. I thought we settled.”

Maryland shot 0-for-9 in the first half from 3-point range, and redshirt junior Katie Rutan, who is a 39-percent 3-point shooter in her career, opened the game with six misses.

“She’s a great shooter, and we did a good job on her tonight defensively talking on her,” Peters said. “She got us last game, so we were focused on her.”

The Blue Devils also kept junior Alyssa Thomas below her season average in points with 14.

Thomas, who ranks second in scoring in the ACC, entered Sunday coming off a 30-point performance against

“You can’t really stop her completely, so you just try to work very hard at playing good defense around her,” McCallie said. “[Allowing 14 points] was slowing her down.
