Congress votes to end shutdown, suspend debt limit until Feb.

ONE ONE HUNDRED HUNDRED AND AND EIGHTH ninthYEAR, YEAR,Issue Issuexxx 35

Fuqua student frees hands in Porta-Potties, keeps germs at bay

by Lori Montgomery and Rosalind Helderman The washington post

WASHINGTON — The fiscal impasse in Washington was close to a resolution Wednesday night after the Senate overwhelmingly approved legislation to raise the debt limit through Feb. 7 and end the 16-day-old government shutdown.

Republicans gave up on their costly bid to force President Barack Obama to delay his landmark health-care law, and the House was expected to approve the legislation later in the evening.

By a vote of 81 to 18, the Senate sent the 35-page bill to the House, where GOP leaders said they were urging their caucus to support the measure.

At the White House, Obama hailed the Senate’s deal.

“Once this agreement arrives on my desk I will sign it immediately and we will begin reopening the government immediately, and we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and the American people,” he said.

Boehner and other GOP leaders acknowledged defeat hours after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced terms of their deal on the Senate floor, drawing support from the White House.

“We fought the good fight; we just didn’t win,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in an interview with conservative radio host Bill Cunningham.

The Senate plan does not include any major changes to the Affordable Care Act, a victory for Democrats and a repudiation of Republicans who for weeks tried to use the threat of a shutdown and potential default to force changes in the law.

Though in a small Democratic concession on the Affordable Care Act, Republicans won additional safeguards to ensure that people who receive subsidies to buy health insurance are eligible for them.

“Republicans remain determined to repeal this terrible law,” McConnell said in announcing the agreement alongside Reid. “But for today — for today — the relief we hope for is to reopen the government, avoid default and protect the historic cuts we achieved under the Budget Control Act. In addition to lifting the $16.7 trillion debt limit, the emerging measure would fund the government through Jan. 15, delaying the next threat of a shutdown until after the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

The bill would set up a conference committee to negotiate broader budget issues, such as whether to replace the deep federal budget cuts known as the sequester with other savings.

But its timeline sets up another potentially bitter showdown over spending cuts and entitlement programs that will unfold in the halls of Congress over the next four months.

In negotiating the compromise legislation, Democrats dropped their demand to delay a new tax on existing health insurance plans, a change intended to benefit organized labor. Republicans backed off their push to deny the Treasury flexibility to manage the nation’s books after Feb. 7, meant to ensure that the short-term extension of the debt limit doesn’t drag on into the spring.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the looming debt deadline — after a bitter, weeks-long standoff — meant that Republicans had little or no leverage.

A Fuqua students’ invention will make an appearance at the N.C. State fair.

by Tim Bai

The Chronicle

A Fuqua student is jumping feet-first into the Porta-Potty business.

Responding to the dirtiness of the doors of portable toilets, Robert Josh Lehr, an MBA exchange student, invented SANI LOCK Hands-Free, an attachment to portable toilets that allows users to open the door from the inside without touching a soiled door handle. By pressing down on specific levers using the feet, a user can lock or unlock the door with minimal transmission of bacteria. Several Porta-Potty models have been fitted for presentation at the upcoming North

Carolina State Fair where patrons will be allowed to try out the new technology for themselves starting Thursday.

Lehr mentioned that the idea for SANI LOCK started to form when he attended a barbecue in La Jolla, Calif. several years ago. Lehr was forced to use the portable restrooms at the event because no permanent restrooms were available, and he was disgusted by the poor sanitary conditions.

“I was just thinking to myself, ‘There’s got to be a better way,’ and as I’m walking past the barbecue I literally thought, ‘I wonder how many people grabbed that door handle on See sani lock, page 4

Uni discusses merits of liberal arts edu

by Gautam Hathi The Chronicle

When preparing for a career, a career-specific major might not be the best option, some administrators say.

Students intending to go to a professional graduate school generally complete both the requirements for one of Duke’s traditional major options as well as a set of courses recommended for their intended professional path. There are no pre-professional majors such as pre-health, pre-law or prebusiness. Students who intend to be pre-health, for example, have a list of over a dozen courses that are recommended either for medical school applications or MCAT preparations.

“The liberal arts tradition has been around for about 100 years,” said Lee Baker, dean of academic affairs for the Trinity

College of Arts and Sciences. “[In the United States], we normally don’t have undergraduate degrees that lead to medicine or to law.”

Although other countries have gone down the path of training undergraduates for specific professions, many colleges and universities in the United States are designed to give students a wide range of skills applicable across many different careers, Baker said. As a result, many U.S. educational institutions, especially elite ones, have shied away from “pre-health” or “pre-law” majors.

“In Britain you can do an undergraduate degree in law [or medicine],” said Baker. “But America for over a century has See pre-prof, page 4

Karsh Scholarship Program still strong in third year

by Shangnon Fei The ChRoniCLe

prior to the creation of the Karsh international scholarship, the University provided no opportunities for need-blind aid to international students. now in its third year, the Karsh program began with a $20 million donation from University Trustee Bruce Karsh, co-founder and president of oaktree Capital Management, LLC and Trinity ’77, and his wife Martha in 2008 to provide funds for a need and merit-based scholarship for international students to attend Duke.

The program meets the full financial need of its students, funds special trips and opportunities for its students during the school year, and sponsors up to three summer projects that student smay choose to organize. it started with only four students and now has 19 scholars, including two alumni.

“Financial aid availability for foreign students is very limited generally, not only at Duke, but also elsewhere,” said ana Barros, faculty director of the Karsh scholarship. “however, other institutions may have larger financial aid funds, which can also be used to support international students. Thus, the vision and leadership of the Karshes at Duke is especially noteworthy.” sixteen countries are currently represented among the Karsh scholars. Current scholars feel that the diversity of the program, as well as its strong support structure, is the core of the program’s success. “it makes it so that you come to Duke with a group of people who come from all over the world but are facing the same issues as you. This makes for an extremely supportive environment that really helped with my transition to college life freshman year,” sophomore Karsh scholar isabella Kwai said.

The program, Kwai said, provides support and networking resources to the scholars, while affording them with the independence necessary to focus their interests and forge their own unique student experience.

“For example, you can organize whatever project you want to do over the summer and they’ll support you, and i think that’s amazing,” she said.

Junior winnie Biwott, a Karsh scholar born and raised in Kenya, said that one of the main benefits of the program is the diversity of its student network.

“The main thing i’ve really gained from being a scholar is getting to meet students from all over the world, getting to talk to them at symposiums and getting to hear their stories—this really inspired me to challenge myself,” Biwott said.

Barros noted that the Karsh scholars are engaged students who participate in a wide range of activities from student government to Dukeengage to the arts

and to athletics.

Biwott added that the program helps make an education from a leading university a financial possibility for some international students. she noted that this can help the students further their goals in their native countries.

“The Karsh program is really important for being able to bring in students from all over the world who may come from disadvantaged backgrounds, and give them a chance to tell their stories at one of the best institutions in the world,” she said. “i know that most other Karshes want to influence their communities back home once they graduate, as well.”

Biwott plans to return to Kenya after graduation to improve conditions.

The Karsh scholarship is highly competitive, as only five new students are recruited on average each year.

Despite the selectivity, Barros said, the presence of a merit scholarship for international students enables the University to compete with other prestigious institutions for top international students that would otherwise be unable to afford attending Duke.

Current Karsh scholars would welcome the expansion of the program in the future to accommodate more students from more locations around the world. “i look forward to seeing a very cool global alumni network rising out of the Karsh community,” Kwai said. “it’s kind of cool to think of the possibility of having a Karsh scholar from every country.”

Safety upped for Duke logo Cancer Center Institute volunteers voice concerns producers in Bangladesh

by Staff Reports The ChRoniCLe

eliZa BraY/the ChroniCle

Student volunteers for the Duke Cancer Institute had complaints about training.

by Aleena Karediya The ChRoniCLe

some student volunteers are concerned that training does not cut it at the Duke Cancer institute.

The volunteer program at the institute, called the Duke Cancer patient support program, began 26 years ago and has grown to a network of 250 to 300 volunteers. Thirty percent are students from universities across north Carolina. phillip shoe, volunteer coordinator of the DCpsp, said training is satisfactory.

Many students, however, believe that training for such a large volunteering program should cover more areas and be more specific, particularly in terms of bedside manner.

Lloyd Zhao, a junior who has been volunteering for two years, said that training

tends to skim over certain social situations that may arise from being around grieving cancer patients. “i remember a time when one of the cancer patients, who was in a bad mood, basically asked me to tell some people near her to move because they were being too happy,” Zhao said. “Training certainly doesn’t cover situations like these.

You need to use common sense in order to judge these kinds of situations, and training really lacks in this way.”

Trainings usually include privacy or bedside manners training, and outline different situations that a volunteer could encounter in the hospital setting, shoe said, adding that training is tailored as specifically as possible to the tasks of the volunteers.

See Volunteers, page 4

a new University policy requires manufacturers in Bangladesh that are licensed to produce goods with the Duke logo to sign and abide by the accord on Building and Fire safety, according to a Duke news press release.

The decision follows the april 24 factory collapse in savar, Bangladesh that killed more than 1,100 people and injured approximately 2,500.

The press release stated that University administrators made the change to reflect concern over risks to the safety of apparel workers in Bangladesh—the world’s second-leading producer of garments.

“Duke has a deep and abiding commitment to ensuring that our logo apparel is produced safely and responsibly,” executive Vice president Tallman Trask stated in the release. “That’s why we support the accord on Fire and Building safety in Bangladesh, which is the strongest and most credible program to protect workers in garment factories from the danger of fires and building collapses.... we believe this is a fair and reasonable requirement that will help foster a safe and secure workplace, and we will be working with licensees to implement this policy as soon as possible.”

The policy requires competent, independent safety inspections at factories. it also mandates that repairs and renovations be done as needed to make factories safe and that workers play a strong

role in improving factories’ safety practices.

The accord has been signed by nearly 100 brands and retailers from 19 countries, the release stated.

United students against sweatshops—a student group led by freshman Zoe willingham and sophomore Zaynah alam, a staff writer for The Chronicle— began working to promote the campaign to improve working conditions in Bangladesh earlier this year. “i have family in Bangladesh, so this is relevant to me on a personal level. i kind of know firsthand what the conditions are there,” alam previously told The Chronicle. in the release, willingham described the policy change as “a huge step forward in the fight for safer and more humane jobs worldwide.”

pre-prof from page 1 not gone down that road because we’ve had medical schools and law schools.”

Baker said that Duke’s liberal arts curriculum emphasizes depth in an area of knowledge because it allows for innovative thinking and communication with others in a specialized field. As a result, Duke students will generally spend one-third of their courses in a particular field, one-third fulfilling general education requirements and one-third how they like.

“We train people to write persuasively, think logically, really argue and understand a field to the point where they are really literate and conversant in it,” Baker said.

Luke Maier, a sophomore interested in attending law school, argued that the purpose of an undergraduate education is to create wellrounded individuals, rather than train someone for professional school.

“Pre-professional majors are useless,” he said in a Chronicle request for feedback on Facebook. “A pre-professional major could not walk out of Duke and say ‘I am educated’ because that student’s education relies on graduate school. Undergraduate education provides a stand-alone preparation for life.”

Other students felt that Duke already has enough of a pre-professional culture without having specific pre-professional majors.

“I personally think we don’t need more preprofessionalism on campus,” said sophomore Daniel Park in the Facebook feedback request.

“Econ, math, stat and compsci pretty much cover the standard ‘finance’ or pre-business track. Pre-med varies but a lot are bio, BME and neuroscience.”

The list of recommended courses for professional graduate schools can be extensive, especially in the case of medical schools. Some students feel that this list of courses gives students as much depth as any major would. It also sometimes deprives them, however, of the ability to choose electives as other students would.

“Though Duke may not have outlined pre-professional majors, it certainly promotes classes that would nevertheless fall under such a major,” said freshman Miguel Guevara in the Facebook feedback request. “The only think lacking is the ‘pre-‘ name.”

Guevara pointed out that the set of chemistry and organic chemistry courses recommended for Duke pre-health students is essentially equivalent to the set of courses a designated pre-health major at another school would complete.

Baker acknowledged that pre-health students do face more constraints than most other students would, but he also said that Duke is thinking of new ways to incorporate pre-health requirements into its curriculum for those who are interested. He pointed to Duke’s global health major, which can be taken in conjunction with another major, as an example of this.

At the end of the day, however, Baker emphasized that Duke wants to give students a more powerful skill set even if they are certain of their future profession.

“We’re not training journalists to go be journalists,” he said. “We’re training really smart students to go do something which has not been invented yet… We’re not training students just to go to grad school.”

sani lock from page 1 the way out,’” Lehr said.

Although hand sanitizer can be provided inside portable toilets at large outdoor gatherings, Lehr said it does not effectively block the transmission of bacteria because the door handle must still be touched to exit. Additionally, many restroom units do not come equipped with hand sanitizer because it is not required.

SANI LOCK uses two levers—depressing the inner lever with the foot locks the door, and depressing the outer lever unlocks the door. Used in conjunction with hand sanitizer, restroom users will be able to clean their hands and open the door with their feet, avoiding contamination after sanitizing.

Lehr said he hopes that the system will make events where many people gather in close proximity—such as sporting events, wedding venues and concerts—more sanitary for people using the portable restrooms.

Darrin Merritt, the on-grounds manager for the State Fair, said that few of the restrooms at large events have hand-sanitizing dispensers. He added that despite efforts to clean the toilets at the Fair every night, they tend to get ruined throughout the day. He noted that the dirtiness of Porta-Potties is exacerbated when users dispose of food in the toilet.

Lehr’s colleague and initial draftsman Jared Fischer said that Lehr has been working to make SANI LOCK a patented reality since they met approximately six and a half years ago. Fischer noted that the next hurdle for SANI LOCK to overcome is marketing to portable restroom companies. He praised Lehr

FREE PERSONAL TRAINING SESSION

for success at previous showcases in Oregon.

“Everyone who sees it thinks it’s a fantastic idea,” Fischer said. “Nowadays there’s not many new ideas coming out because everyone’s kind of thought of everything, so I think it’s kind of cool to see something a little new and innovative.”

Merritt, however, was concerned with the sanitation of the Fair’s restroom units. He said he will have to see the device in action to fully understand its advantages.

“It’s just something that when we get it we’re going to have to see how it works,” he said. “I’m curious to see it myself.”

There will be three SANI LOCK PortaPotties and three regular Porta-Potties placed next to each other near gate 11 for fair attendees to test.

The fair begins Oct. 17 and continues until Oct. 27.

volunteers from page 3 “Each volunteer, whether a student or a member of the community, goes through an initial five-hour training,” Shoe said. “After that, training is specialized based on what is needed from the volunteer. Some positions include anywhere from one-and-a-half to eight-hour additional training, because they either require extremely close encounters with patients or require many tasks at once from volunteers.”

Zhao also said their training left out many logistical details, such as locations of items and specific places in the Cancer Center.

“I am a host volunteer, and sometimes I wouldn’t know where to direct patients and their families,” he said. “Sometimes I’d even have to ask nurses for the location of everyday items, such as blankets or snack items.

These are simple things that training should go through.”

Junior James Tian, also a volunteer of two years, said the format of the training could be much more interactive.

“Nearly all of the training is in PowerPoint format,” Tian said. “It’d be much more helpful if they made us practice what we learned, maybe in pairs. That would be the best way, in my opinion, to teach us how to navigate patient requests in a professional way.

Sherry Tang, a junior, said she is satisfied with the training, but noted that it is important to experience certain situations firsthand to really learn.

“The training is good information, but that information is solidified only through experience,” Tang said. “Volunteers shouldn’t be afraid to make mistakes, because through mistakes comes knowledge, and the staff and senior volunteers are always present as a good support system.”

Tang has worked in many different positions within the DCPSP, including the Look Good...Feel Better Program, and thinks that training for each is efficient.

“There’s just so much information to consolidate into a day of training,” she said.

“Training obviously cannot cover every single situation for every single program, but the way they have training for specific programs makes it easier to learn the information for your own role within the Cancer Center.”

Vignesh Vudatha, a junior, agreed that training can only cover so much of the full experience.

“With any type of HIPPA or safety training, including the training at the Cancer Center, there has to be room for interpretation,” he said. “You need to go through the motions of volunteering before you truly understand what the training is all about.”

Regardless of opinions on training, the volunteers are an integral part of the Cancer Center foundation, and many patients look forward to their interactions with the volunteers, Tang said.

“Volunteers are unique in that they get to be as personal as they want with the patients,” Tang said. “Staff workers are the professional aspect of the Cancer Center, while the volunteers get to interact with patients in new and unique ways.”

shutdown from page 1 “This package is a joke compared to what we could have gotten if we had a more reasonable approach,” Graham said. “For the party, this is a moment of self-evaluation; we are going to assess how we got here. If we continue down this path, we are really going to hurt the Republican Party long-term.”

The deal came in the final hours before the government would have exhausted its borrowing power, leaving Treasury Secretary Jack Lew with just $30 billion in cash and a fluctuating flow of tax revenue to pay the nation’s bills.

While Lew was unlikely to have begun missing payments immediately if no deal had been reached, independent analysts say he would have run short of funds no later than Nov. 1.

Cavaliers await Blue Devils Duke looks for 5th win in last 6 contests against Virginia

by Zac Elder The ChroniCle

Since head coach David Cutcliffe came to Durham in 2008, Duke has defeated Virginia in four of its five matchups. looking for its first conference win of the season and trying to pull within a game Duke of bowl eligibility for vs. the second straight Virginia year, the Blue Devils will square off with the Cavaliers Saturday SATURDAY, 3:30 p.m. at 3:30 p.m. at Scott Scott Stadium Stadium in Charlottesville, Va. “We’ve played well in some of those games,” Cutcliffe said. “in our first one, against Virginia, we played extremely well. i don’t know if that set a tone for the young guys that were on that team, but all i care about is how we play in this one coming up.”

Duke heads on South- Blue Devils square off eastern road swing with 2 top-15 opponents

by Helen Liljenwall The ChroniCle

Taking another weekend road trip, Duke sets out to accomplish something it has not had to do in more than two months—bounce back from a loss.

The no. 24 Blue Devils will face off against Georgia No. 24 Tech Friday at 8:30 Duke p.m. at o’Keefe vs.

Stadium in AtlanGeorgia ta before taking on Tech Clemson Sunday at 1 p.m. at Jervey Gym FRIDAY, 8:30 p.m.

O’Keefe Stadium in Clemson, S.C. Friday’s contest will be televised on Fox No. 24 Sports South.

Duke “This road trip vs.

Clemson is very difficult because we play two good teams in their SUNDAY, 1 p.m. home venues,” head Jervey Gym coach Jolene nagel said. “They do a great job of getting a good crowd there,

having the bands there and having some great promotion, so it’s hard to play in these two facilities.”

After defeating then-no. 10 north Carolina in straight sets on the road last Friday, Duke’s 10-match winning streak was snapped when the Blue Devils (143, 5-1 in the ACC) fell to n.C. State 3-1 Sunday at reynolds Coliseum.

With a tiring weekend road trip in the rearview mirror and another one quickly approaching, nagel said her team’s focus will be key as Duke prepares to play its fourth straight game on the road.

“We have to make sure that we head out on the trip understanding that we are going to take it one game at a time, one match at a time, one point at a time and not get overwhelmed thinking about the entire weekend,” nagel said.

Duke is now ranked fourth in the nation at 15.11 kills per set and 13.96 assists per set. Junior setter Maggie Deichmeister is currently ranked first in See VOLLEYBALL, page 9

After having most of last weekend off, the Blue Devils will return to the turf twice this weekend, hoping to bounce back from their first ACC loss this season. no. 8 Duke will begin the weekend with a conference No. 8 game on the road Duke against no. 6 Virvs. ginia 6 p.m. Friday No. 6 night. The Blue Virginia Devils will return to Durham Sunday FRIDAY, 6 p.m.

University Hall Turf Field afternoon to take on no. 13 Stanford in a nonconference No. 13 Stanford match at noon. “[The weekend vs. off] came at perNo. 8 fect timing with our Duke schedule and the SUNDAY, 12 p.m. intense overtime Jack Katz Field games that we have had,” head coach Pam Bustin said. “We have had our

chance to rest and recuperate and have had good preparation for this weekend’s matches. We are ready to go into the final stretch of the regular season.”

Duke has taken its extra day off to focus on future games instead of dwelling on a double overtime loss to Syracuse last Friday. Despite the loss, the Blue Devils still sit at third place the ACC. “having one like that slip away is disappointing but at the same time it keeps the fire going,” Bustin said. “We are so close so we have to make sure that we take that extra step to finish it in our favor. So we have had the time off to regroup and get our legs back. We are looking forward to the opportunity [against Virginia] on Friday.”

Virginia (14-3, 2-2) is another obstacle along a tough road Duke faces in the ACC, a conference in which all seven teams are ranked in the nation’s top 15. The Cavaliers began the season 12-1 but have since dropped two of their last See FIELD HOCKEY, page 8

Blue Devil women return to com- Duke men set to run on NCAA petition in Wisconsin Championship course

by Ali Wells THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils will face their most competitive field of the season so far Saturday at the Wisconsin Invitational with a chance to climb back up the regional and national rankings.

Graduate student Juliet Bottorff and freshmen Wesley Frazier, Hannah Meier and Haley Meier—the team’s four top-scoring runners—will return to competition Saturday in Madison, Wis., after taking a break from the Royals Challenge last Friday.

This meet will host more runners than the NCAA Championship and more than half of the top-ranked teams in the nation, so head coach Kevin Jermyn will use this race as mental preparation for the championships later in the season now that his team is peaking physically as the racers begin to taper their training in preparation for the championship season.

“We are going to get an exaggerated effect of what the NCAAs are going to be like now at our halfway point in the season,” Jermyn said.

“Hopefully what we get most out of it is that when we go to the national championships, [the racers] are in familiar territory and feel more prepared to run mentally well.”

After competing at the Notre Dame Invitational without Frazier and Hannah Meier

and settling for a 10th-place finish, Duke has fallen back in both the regional and national rankings according to the most recent U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll.

In the Southeast region, the Blue Devils have dropped from first to third behind See W. CROSS COUNTRY, page 9

Preparing for the championship stretch, the Blue Devils will preview the NCAA Championship course with the pre-nationals race Saturday.

Top-scoring runners graduate student Mike Moverman, senior Brian Atkinson and junior Shaun Thompson did not compete in the Royals Challenge last weekend but will return to competition in Terre Haute, Ind., leading seven Duke runners for the A-race.

At this 10,000-meter event last year, the Blue Devils placed fifth, earning an at-large selection to the NCAA Championship and their first appearance on the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll of the season in 18th. Duke began this season ranked 30th but has fallen out of the top 30. A strong performance at this meet could propel the Blue Devils back into the rankings.

“I don’t know if a top-five finish is in the cards, but anywhere in the top 10 for this meet is pretty good,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “We are out there doing our best. It’s an important meet, a big meet, and we are taking it very seriously.”

The Blue Devils will have the opportu-

nity to race on the same course that will host the NCAA Championship in November. Getting prior race experience provides a great advantage mentally beyond just jogging the course the day before the meet, Ogilvie said.

“It’s important to see any course before you race on it,” he said. “You know the terrain, the up-hills, the down-hills and where to make your move. We get an idea how to race it and how to train for it, so we get in the right amount of hill work, speed work and strength work. We make sure to do that with all the championship courses that we run.”

Moverman, Atkinson and Thompson were Duke’s top finishers at the meet last year, all placing in the top 50.

The team’s leaders trained through the weekend and will take on the field at peak mileage.

Junior Brian Schoepfer claimed the final of the seven spots for the A-race with his individual win at the Royals Challenge last weekend. Ogilvie will also bring the secondthrough fourth-place Blue Devils of that meet—sophomore Blake Udland, freshman Stephen Shine and junior Nate McClafferty—to compete in the nonscoring open See M.

Duke heads to Clemson to begin pivotal road trip

Every week, Duke head coach Robbie Church writes the ACC standings on the board for his team. Then he draws a cutoff line, separating the eight teams that would qualify for the ACC tournament from the teams that would not, if no more games were played.

For the bulk of this season, the Blue Devils (5-6-3, 2-4-2 in the ACC) have been below that line, putting them Duke in danger of missing the NCAA tourvs.

Clemson nament for the first time since 2002.

With five critical THURSDAY, 7 p.m. games remaining Riggs Field to salvage its tournament hopes, the team, which currently sits 11th in the conference standings, starts a weekend road trip Thursday at Clemson.

“It’s a slap in the face to say, ‘We need to get our act together and start to win games if we want to continue our season for as long as we want it to last,’” redshirt senior forward Kim DeCesare said.

“I like that he puts those standings up on the board because it’s a constant reminder that we need to be better.”

The Tigers (7-4-3, 4-3-1) are another middle-of-the-pack ACC team looking to strengthen its tournament resume.

Already three games over .500 and sitting in sixth place entering Thursday’s contest, Clemson currently seems to be

As Duke heads into its final stretch of the season, the Blue Devils are in danger of missing the postseason for the first time since 2002. standing on much more solid ground than Duke.

The Blue Devils enter Thursday’s tilt with a five-game winning streak against the Tigers on the line. During that span, the Blue Devils have outscored Clemson 17-1. But Church said this year’s Tiger team is aggressive, talented and competing at a very high level.

“Clemson’s having a very good year, I think [Tiger head coach Eddie Radwans-

ki] has got to be one of the front-runners for coach of the year in the conference,” Church said. “They’re a very physical group, and they work extremely hard.

We have to see how we react to that, because it’s something that’s given us difficulty in the past. Some of our young ladies are going to get kicked, and you can’t go run and hide. We’ve got to be able to use our speed and our skill and our athleticism against them.”

The Tigers are averaging nearly two goals per contest, but that statistic is deceiving. Clemson throttled Alabama A&M Sept. 22, scoring early and often en route to a 14-0 victory. The Tigers have managed just three goals in the five matches since that blowout. With the Alabama A&M game the lone exception, Clemson has found itself in close games all season long. The Tigers have played in five overtime contests this season, emerging with three ties and two losses.

As Duke continues to play must-win game after must-win game, the need to get an early goal is increasingly important, psychologically.

“It gets easier to put your head down if you don’t score that first goal, if you don’t get up early,” DeCesare said. “Our team has done a good job of coming back after we’re scored on, but getting the first goal helps for confidence purposes and gives us more pride.”

For Church, the importance of getting ahead early is purely tactical, especially facing a defensive-oriented Tiger squad.

“If Clemson gets that first goal, they’re going to put a lot of people behind the ball, and it’s going to be very difficult to score,” Church said. “We want to make them come out and play a different way than they like to play.

It’s very big but it’s not the total deciding factor of the game. We’ve been up and let it slip, and we’ve come back on

Since Duke’s last victory Sept. 24 against Wright State, it has failed to register a win its last five matches. The Blue Devils will take to the road this weekend hoping to snap that streak.

Duke will head north to face ACC foe Boston College Duke at Newton Campus Soccer Field in vs.

Newton, Mass. The Boston Blue Devils have College not played since last Friday’s 1-1 FRIDAY, 7 p.m. double-overtime tie Newton Soccer Field against conference rival N.C. State.

Duke head coach John Kerr was quick to point out that a week’s break from game action has been beneficial for his team.

“It gave us a chance to heal, to kind of reevaluate some things and also to give the players a couple of days to get their homework done and get some things organized,” Kerr said.

The Blue Devils (4-4-5, 0-3-4 in the ACC) have had ample time to focus their efforts on the Eagles (5-4-2, 3-3-1), who are fresh off a 2-1 home loss to North Carolina. Duke’s staff has fixated on Boston College’s speed up front. Freshmen

Zeiko Lewis and Isaac Normesinu are two of the Eagles’ top young weapons on the attack. Lewis already holds seven assists on the year, and Normesinu netted his second goal of the season against North Carolina earlier in the week.

“We’ve seen them on video, and they are very quick,” Kerr said. “They got three or four quick guys up front that are smaller, but they’re really talented and really direct, and they’re really good on the counter attack.”

Friday night’s game will be played on turf at Boston College, which will only quicken the pace of the match. Although the Blue Devils play their home contests on grass at Koskinen Stadium, Kerr chose to train his squad on Duke’s turf practice fields this week in order to prepare for the speed of Boston College’s attackers.

“The game is totally different,” Kerr said. “It is much quicker, and especially Boston College at night—the surface gets wet, and it really moves really quick.”

If Duke is to get its first conference win of the season Friday, the Blue Devil offense will have to recover from a recent dry spell. The team is averaging a mere 1.15 goals per game on the season, and has found the back of the net just once in its past three games. Duke

Duke’s defensive unit has held strong, allowing one goal in the team’s last three contests, but the Blue Devils have come away with three draws. has not scored multiple goals in a game since its last victory, which took place nearly a month ago.

Despite his team’s struggles throughout its five-game winless skid, Kerr said

that significant changes are not necessary to improve his team’s scoring going forward—the goals will come.

“We’ve put some great balls across, we just have to get on the end of them,” he said.

four games.

The Blue Devils hope to avenge last season’s 3-1 Senior Day home loss to Virginia. The Cavaliers suffered an upset Sunday to William and Mary—a team that has a losing record—but that doesn’t mean that the Blue Devils are taking Friday’s game lightly.

“We go into every game thinking about ourselves,” redshirt senior midfielder Devon Gagliardi said. “We take the team that we are playing as nameless and faceless. So we are going to prepare like we would prepare for anyone else.”

Duke will then welcome Stanford (10-3), a team that sits atop the standings in the NorPac Conference’s West Division. The Cardinal has suffered against ranked opponents, losing to No. 2 Connecticut and No. 4 Syracuse, but are looking to pick up a signature win against the Blue Devils.

Stanford is led by senior forward Hope Burke, who leads her team with seven goals and four assists. She is also the only player in the conference to snag the NorPac offensive player of the week award twice this season. “[Stanford is] a great team,” Bustin said. “For us, in preparation for postsea-

son, it is good to get out of the ACC and see a different style of hockey.”

The Blue Devils look to continue their high level of defensive play and have only allowed 1.31 goals per game.

Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Blazing leads the country in save percentage and is averaging 6.08 saves per game.

The Duke defense will have its hands full, however, with a Virginia team that is scoring 3.06 goals per game, and a Cardinal squad that is averaging 3.00 goals per game, good for 16th and 17th in the nation.

“It was just unfortunate that [Syracuse] had that goal against us [last week],” senior defender Brenna Rescigno said. “But I think we just need to work harder, finishing on the attacking end.

Our defense is going to take the next game and play as hard as we did against Syracuse and hopefully come away with kakuro_397A.txt aCreated win.”

against Wake Forest, the starter was sidelined for the following week’s matchup against Virginia. Boone, then a redshirt sophomore, stepped into the starting role and led the Blue Devils to an easy 42-17 win over the Cavaliers, throwing for more than 200 yards and four touchdowns in the process.

Duke (4-2, 0-2 in the ACC) will also welcome the return of Brandon Connette to his role in the Blue Devils’ phantom package with Boone back on the field. Although the redshirt junior sustained an ankle injury that sidelined him for Saturday’s game against the Midshipmen, Connette should be back in action against Virginia (2-4, 0-2).

His role as a run-first, situational quarterback adds an element to Duke’s offense that has been sorely missed in past weeks.

“Anthony will start, barring any freak, unforeseen incident,” Cutcliffe said.

The Duke defense, coming off a dominant performance against Navy, will face one of worst offensive units in the conference. The Cavaliers rank in the bottom half of the ACC in points per game and total offense per game. Virginia’s 4.5 yards per play average is dead last in the conference.

The Cavaliers have also been plagued by turnovers this season. Virginia has lost seven fumbles and thrown seven interceptions through its first six games, and the Cavaliers’ turnover margin is the worst in the conference. The Blue Devils took advantage of a Navy team that usually plays mistake-free football, forcing three turnovers in a 35-7 victory.

“We definitely have a better attitude about ourselves,” linebacker David Helton

said. “Momentum can be carried game to game, and it makes you feel so much better about yourself as a defense.”

If Virginia’s offense does pose a threat, it will come on the ground. Starting tailback Kevin Parks has 510 rushing yards this year, and is supplemented by Khalek Sheppard, who has averaged 7.7 yards per carry on his limited touches. The Cavaliers also boast one of the biggest offensive lines in the conference, led by tackle Morgan Moses, listed at 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds.

Though six games, the Blue Devils have allowed 178 yards on the ground per game, the third-worst mark in the ACC. “Virginia is a very talented team, a big team,” Cutcliffe said. “This has always been a very physical game between the two of us.

And this is a huge challenge for us.”

The physicality of Duke’s recent matchups with Virginia has extended beyond the run of play. The Blue Devils and Cavaliers have had their fair share of chippy moments in recent years as personal foul calls have become part of the routine when these two teams take the field.

“Last year, we got the chance to take over the game and really control it, but they’re going to come out with a vengeance, I know that,” Boone said. “So we’re looking forward to a tough road game and hopefully our first ACC win.”

Although Duke’s trip to Charlottesville will mark just its second road game of the season, Cutcliffe relishes the opportunity that the Blue Devils have away from home.

“I’ve always liked the road just because it’s a business trip,” Cutcliffe said. “It’s nice to go on the road and focus on nothing but football.... I think [the players] probably look forward to it.”

Virginia and William and Mary, both of which will not be travelling to the Wisconsin Invitational this weekend. Nationally, Duke has been surpassed in the rankings by 13 teams, leaving the Blue Devils in 17th.

“It’s helpful not to be over-ranked,” Jermyn said. “I’m fine with where we’re ranked.

Would I like to be better than that at the end of the year? Sure. I don’t think it’s a negative thing mid-season. We are trying to keep a balanced perspective.”

This race gives Duke a good chance to improve its rankings because of the competition it attracts from around the nation.

Of the 36 women’s teams competing in this event, 17 are ranked among the top 30 in the nation, including Providence, Arizona and Washington, ranked first, third and fourth, respectively.

The race on the Zimmerman Course will mark the first time Duke will run 6,000 meters this season, but Jermyn said the additional kilometer has not changed the team’s race mentality.

“It isn’t a monumental change in mindset or how we are preparing for it,” he said. “We don’t make a big deal of the transition. Either you run all-out or you don’t. That’s what’s hard, whether you’re running a 5K or a 6K.” Most of the Blue Devils who competed in the Royals Challenge will not travel to Wisconsin but will compete Friday at the Blue Ridge Open 5K in Boone, N.C., with a chance to make a name for themselves heading into the postseason.

“It is possible someone could have a breakthrough and earn a spot on the ACC roster,” Jermyn said. “The main goal is to help those kids develop and givekakuro_397A.txt them a full season.”

the ACC, averaging of 11.25 assists per set. Ranked second in the ACC for kills, sophomore outside hitter Emily Sklar has an average of 3.96 kills per set and recorded 17 total kills in the Blue Devils’ loss to N.C. State.

The Blue Devils’ 10-match streak— the team’s longest since winning 11 straight in 2006—was nothing short of a collaborative effort, with four different players leading the team in kills during that span.

“I just think volleyball is such a team sport,” Nagel said. “It is hard to recognize any one player because those players that play in the back court that don’t necessarily get all the glory of hitting and everything are just critical to your team.”

Duke struggled with their defensive play against N.C. State, allowing 62 kills and registering just seven team blocks.

Though the Blue Devils were able to minimize their hitting errors by the third set against the Wolfpack, they were unable to recover their normally-strong defense.

Leading Clemson’s offense are senior outside hitter Mo Simmons and freshman middle blocker Leah Perri.

Simmons is currently ranked first in the ACC at 4.63 kills per set. As for Georgia Tech, senior Jennifer Percy leads the team offensively with a total of 201 kills.

“We’ll continue to work to get better each day, which is what we have been doing, and what the team has been very focused on doing,” Nagel said. “We’ve been doing a lot of video tape evaluation

people. It helps defensively as well, if we make a mistake now it’s a tie game instead of being down a goal. That’s a big difference.”

With just five guaranteed games left in her college career, DeCesare and the other seniors on the team have been talking about finishing the season strong.

“I think we’re going to keep going with what works for now, so we’ll probably do a lot of the same things [against Clemson] that we did at Maryland—because that’s what worked,” Decesare said. “We’ve been trying to keep belief in our program and in ourselves.”

Church said that he still likes his team’s chances of finding a way into the tournament, even though the situation remains dicey.

“If we get three points this week or six points with two wins, we’re going to bypass a lot of teams,” Church said.

“There’s a lot of games that we have no control over, but right now we’re still finding ourselves, which isn’t a great thing, but we’re playing well right now to where if we can get ourselves in the tournament I think we’ll be a very dangerous team.”

Udland, Shine and McClafferty each nearly claimed the final spot in the A-race, all finishing within three seconds of Schoepfer. Although they cannot contribute to the team score at this meet, they will gain experience racing against strong fields and can score for Duke at the ACC Championship in early November.

“These are our ten best guys who will probably be running at ACCs,” Ogilvie said.

The Chronicle

“

eating and drinking Last week, The Chronicle reported that the Duke Center for Eating Disorders has initiated a new treatment program for patients with moderate to severe eating disorders. Not only is the new plan a huge improvement to what Duke previously offered, but it also provides students with the opportunity to remain enrolled at Duke, should they choose, while receiving treatment.

Today, eating disorders are an unfortunate reality in a society whose values are molded by a pop-culture influence that puts an unhealthy emphasis on body image. Duke is no exception.

Among students, appearance matters, and that pressure can lead to eating disorders.

The Intensive Evening Program is a positive step towards mitigating body image issues for two particular reasons. First, the DEDC’s treatment can help students without compromising their academic ambition. Second, its very presence raises awareness to a problem that is far more complex than it is often regarded.

Still, issues persist. A recent study by the University of Missouri found that 16 percent of college students restricted calories due to drinking.

Of those who took part in the survey, three times as many women engaged in the practice, known

informally as “drunkorexia.”

The combination of alcohol, social pressure and excessive dieting is not new, and it is clearly dangerous. “Drunkorexia” teeters on the edges of two severe disorders – alcoholism and anorexia, and mixes body image insecurities with the worry-

Editorial purging effects of drinking.

Currently, Duke employs one notable method of alcohol-abuse prevention, the bewailed first-year AlcoholEDU course. Although AlcoholEDU serves a purpose, its effectiveness at educating students and preventing alcohol abuse seems unclear, at best.

Perhaps a superior method of addressing alcohol, eating disorders and their perilous combination is to consider the realities of college life. Alcohol use and abuse are inevitable, and eating disorders plague modern American culture.

We advocate a program of campus awareness that stresses the basics: enjoying a wholesome meal before going out, promoting mutual accountability among friends for healthy eating and suggesting

general tips for safer drinking. The bulletin boards and bathrooms in dormitories are already filled with information about physical and sexual health.

Adding alcohol-related content is the next logical step.

East Campus is the most important target for a healthy eating and drinking campaign. Its residents are students who have never before lived on their own or had easy access to alcohol, offering the unique opportunity to impart a profound, preventative influence. East Campus also has The Marketplace, which is the only traditional sit-down eating venue at Duke and a space that affords students an environment where they and their friends can be held mutually accountable for eating habits.

In addition, we recommend that Counseling and Psychological Services conduct, across the student body, a survey similar to the one at the University of Missouri. The more information CAPS, DEDC and the Wellness Center have, the more effective new educational programs can be.

The recent and significant improvements to Duke’s eating disorder treatment options are great.

The next crucial step is to implement effective education that can more deeply penetrate the complicated causes of these illnesses.

editor’s note

These are the very kinds of questions that should have been openly discussed with all Duke shareholders by the administration and thoroughly thought through well in advance of the decision to move forward with this ill conceived plan...

olumnists, myself certainly included, tend to do a lot of complaining. We complain about dining, about housing, about politics and about anything that we can use to fill our 850-word columns. Sure, sometimes we compliment or commend or pontificate, but in general, it’s easier to complain because there are so many things in our school and our nation that we’d like to see change.

We’ve all been guilty of complaining about an issue without offering a solution, but I tend to think that’s OK as long as we’re at least starting a novel and necessary dialogue. The other thing columnists—and students in general—tend to do a lot of is pick fights.

We become personally offended and will organize protests over just about anything. We insist upon living in a constant state of rage, where anyone who is acting or thinking contrary to our beliefs is doing so maliciously, behaving contrary to natural law. Sometimes these feelings are justified, but all too often they are not. Constantly making demands of our administrators and elevating these complaints (which, let’s not forget, is what they really are) to the level of personal attacks only serves to make Duke students seem out-of-touch and attention-seeking. And all too often, the demands that students present are hypocritical and would only perpetuate a cycle of rage. I call it the “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” Effect. It’s based on the children’s book of the same name, and it hypothesizes that certain individuals tend to insist on making circular, increasingly unreasonable requests until we all end up back where we started. I’d like to give you an example of what I mean: Last year, multiple students and professors suggested that the University should remove Chick-fil-A from campus for using profits from the privately held company to support organizations that work to prevent the legalization of gay marriage. These students concluded that, since the University publicly supports gay rights, it should not allow companies like Chick-fil-A to operate on campus and use its profits in opposition to this stance. This argument, when taken to its logical end, is clearly not a sound metric upon which to base our decisions in managing the University. Before proceeding, though, I’d like to make one point very clear: I support gay marriage. I do not, however, support the notion that my opinion is the only acceptable one to hold, nor do I expect the entire human race to fall into line with my point of view simply because its mine. And therein lies the problem with the kind of thinking that I’ve presented above. The fact that you support gay rights and the fact that the University—inasmuch as it has legal personhood—supports gay rights does not automatically justify you or anyone else in expelling another organization from campus simply for holding an alternate viewpoint.

There is a healthy minority of Americans that also holds this viewpoint, and—contrary to popular belief—some of them even attend this University. Just as we should not persecute individuals for holding a political ideology, we should not persecute organizations for the same “crime.” And for those who believe that we can and should hold organizations to a higher standard than that to which we hold individuals: Should we also kick the Catholic Center off campus?

Scott Briggs as i see it Should we remove all religious and student organizations that hold a viewpoint contrary to yours? To use a less emotionally charged topic, let’s take DukeOpen and the issue of responsible investment. Many students believe that the University needs to be more transparent in its finances. The University obviously disagrees. Does that entitle the University to suppress the DukeOpen movement because it is an organization that opposes an institutionally-held ideal? Of course not, because that’s called tyranny of the majority—or worse, tyranny of the minority. Universities thrive on diversity, debate and intellectual conversations about important political and social issues. If we listen to those students and professors—those members of the Duke community who suggest we silence those who think differently—then we would cease to be a university entirely. Moreover, those same individuals who clamored for the removal of the ideologically offensive parties would now be up in arms over excessive University oversight. And so continues the “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” Effect. If you don’t like what a corporation is doing, take your money elsewhere. If you don’t like what an organization is doing, boycott them. If you don’t like what an individual is doing, agree to disagree or engage them in a productive conversation. But don’t simply try to shut down whatever voice disagrees with yours.

Don’t become enraged at the existence of dissent.

Dissent is necessary to start a conversation. Rage, on the other hand, is the enemy of productive dialogue.

Here’s how I see it: “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” is a children’s book. As students at an elite university, we should all be above that level of thinking.

eid Mubarak!

T

omorrow, 1.7 billion Muslims around the world will complete the four day celebration of one of the two most important religious festivals in the Islamic calendar: Eid al-Adha. The proper greeting for the occasion is “Eid Mubarak!” which effectively means “blessed and happy Eid.” I wish heartfelt Eid Mubarak to all fellow Muslims, especially the Blue Devil ones. Muslim majority societies celebrate this momentous event with over a week of public holiday observance. Everything shuts down during these days of celebration, and the rich spirit of the Eid al-Adha manifests itself through various religious rituals, cultural practices and more. As a part of these joyous celebrations, elders are visited and honored, kids are spoiled with tons of candies, money and gifts, the less privileged pockets of the societies are remembered and extended a hand of mercy and compassion. People who are not even religious often joyously take part in these Eid festivities and look forward to its arrival every year.

As a Muslim immigrant who grew up and lived in different Muslim majority societies, it is during these major religious festivals more than any other time that I am reminded of the minority status of my faith here in the U.S. If you live in a Muslim majority society, you don’t have to do much in order to see the spark and joy of Eid. You just have to watch as it happens around you.

It happens in such a large scale and involves pretty much everyone around you that you just get lost in the joyous atmosphere of Eid. My fellow Americans who have lived in certain parts of the world where Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter come and go seemingly without notice will understand how I feel and what I am trying to say here.

Yes, you try to organize so many events to celebrate Eid within your small communities, you go out of your way to make sure your children will feel at least a fraction of that Eid joy, you try to explain to them that this is our Christmas, but it is still not the same. They still have to go to school the day before and after. Most of their classmates do not take part in this celebration, and their parents have to squeeze Eid into their hectic work schedules. It takes so much out of the whole experience.

More importantly, these special days of observance and the celebrations of cultural, ethnic and religious minorities also often reflect that minority community’s integration story to the rest of the society. In other words, these celebrations of minorities provide very helpful examples of that community’s overall status with the rest of the society. Are they known,

Looking ahead

understood, respected, noticed or seen as equal?

The way these religious and cultural festivals take place both in format and substance unveils the progress that minority community has made in seeing themselves as part of the larger society.

Despite 9/11 and post-9/11 realities which brought unique and worrying challenges to being a Muslim living in North America, Muslims living in this part of the world as a minority (thankfully) still do not face any major challenges or obstacles to practicing their religion or organizing themselves

Abdullah Antepli blue devil imam to observe their religious and cultural practices.

Millions of Muslims have celebrated Eid al-Adha all around North America. Thousands of Muslim pilgrims traveled to Holy sites of Islam to perform their once-in-a-lifetime Hajj duty. Eid prayers are organized in almost all cities across the continent.

Watching yet one more Eid al-Adha passing by, though, I can’t help but think we Muslims, with the help, understanding and support of our fellow citizens, have a long way to go to make these Eids as American as apple pie. Eid by and large remains something that Muslims do once or twice a year in their little silos. For a minority faith community that has been trying to carve out a respectable space within all civic and cultural milieus of American society, we should increasingly do a better job in indigenizing the markers of our religious identities. Yes, the larger society also has a role to play in these indigenizing efforts, but I think it is primarily our responsibility as Muslims to produce homegrown cultural and religious currencies to engrain ourselves into the social fabric of the society in which we live.

This minority-friendly melting pot continues to work and familiarize herself with the world of Islam and Muslims. As Islam and Muslims increasingly become as American as apple pie, and as the social and cultural tapestry of American society gets richer and more beautiful by incorporating including so many more colors and shapes, I hope and pray we are not too far off from adding Eid Mubarak to the list of popular American slang. Eid Mubarak everyone!

Letter to the Editor Response to “DKU research will have sluggish start” As founding director of Global Health Research Center at Duke Kunshan University, I want to clarify some points in your Oct. 11 article, “DKU research will have sluggish start.” First, the Global Health Research Center at DKU is well underway.

We have recruited two research professors of global health who will be based in Kunshan, and a postdoctoral fellow, also based in Kunshan since April, is working on projects related to tuberculosis and diabetes control in China. In addition, two more professors have joined the faculty of the Duke Global Health Institute and will divide their time

between the Duke and DKU campuses; we expect to recruit more faculty with joint DGHI/DKU appointments to work in Kunshan. We have already received grants from the Gates Foundation and World Health Organization to undertake research on TB control and access to medicines in China.

The DKU Global Health Research Center is off to a very strong start and will be a valuable asset for many Duke programs and departments.

uke is hard. Like, really hard. And as my pre-med aspirations grow closer to extinction, I’m still fighting to keep the dream alive. But lately I’ve been at my wit’s end; my limitations grow more tangible with each passing day, and my willpower is running dry. And the more I become engrossed in my studies, the less I seem to be content with the way everything is going. Most regrettably, I have been turning a blind eye to the things I enjoy most. So I’m changing my priorities this semester—I’m prioritizing happiness.

As a freshman last year, I may have gone a little overboard with the happy. Shooters was the mainstay of my day-to-day

Bryan Somaiah breaking barriers life—to use the phrase “turn up” puts it pretty simply. But this was artificial satisfaction, with memories hardly worth remembering if I could even remember them at all. But to lament about my past stupidity would only contribute to the foolish existence of my past self. So I figured I would press forward with determination and confidence—five classes and a gig with the school paper sounded like a more wholesome lifestyle than most.

Wrong.

Now each day seems to blend together into a deadlinefilled delirium. I have become nothing less than a slave to my Google calendar, meandering through my daily life with little to no forethought. Everything seems so mechanical, so systematic. The spunkiness I once exuded has been extinguished, and my carefree nature has all but vanished.

I don’t have time to get four hours of sleep, let alone spend time with the people I care about most.

And I hate it.

There’s this air about Duke that I can’t seem to shy away from, no matter how much I try. It’s almost as if there’s an immense weight on my shoulders that can’t be alleviated, and I don’t know how to break free. Being away from Duke for a few days was just what I needed this Fall break. The work never stopped—the only “break” I had was from Duke.

It was liberating.

Everyone needs an escape from the world. But the last thing I want to do is revert back to the destructive decisions of my freshman year to cope with the struggles I face. Anyone can study by day and party by night—but that’s not the life I want to lead. But when I think about my high school days and all of those clubs and activities I put on my resume, I realize that I—quite literally—am doing none of them. I no longer write songs, let alone pick up my godforsaken guitar, and I most definitely am not about to play for the marching band anytime this century.

Like I’ve said, pressing forward is getting harder and harder. And as little time as I seem to have now, I understand that I don’t want to live like this anymore. The other day I serenaded a male compadre with the smooth musical stylings of Jack Johnson. I went and submitted a song to Small Town Records. Hell, I’ve even begun to sacrifice entire days to attend Super Smash Brothers tournaments just to get away from it all.

As you all well know, when you’re at Duke, there’s never truly a free moment. Any second wasted could have been precious time spent elsewhere. But you can’t just wait for free time to come to you, you have to make it happen.

And the more I find myself letting go, the easier each day becomes. I’m starting to remember the carefree Bryan that wandered the halls of Southgate at ungodly hours of the night looking for a good conversation.

But as carefree as that Bryan was, he should have just gone to bed. My grades aren’t the greatest, and my med school future could very well be in jeopardy with another low mark. But my former self had the right idea. After taking second-semester organic chemistry at lightning speed this Summer, I realized that my capabilities are far from endless.

I need people to get me through the tough times, and lately I’ve been foregoing the relationships I have had with the people that keep my sanity intact.

I’m just trying to make the best of what I’ve got. And now, more than ever, do I want the people I put on the back burner to come into my life again. So to those people, I say to you this: Dear friend, I miss you. I’m free any time of the day—let’s do coffee sometime.
