DukeEngage UNC faculty call for athletic improvements adds four new programs

by Kevin Lin The Chronicle

DukeEngage has added four new programs, bumping the number of group programs up to 40.

The new programs are located in Detroit, Mich.; Miami, Fla.; Belgrade, Serbia; and Seoul, South Korea. Each program provides an opportunity for students to explore culturally relevant issues for each of the areas through service with DukeEngage.

In South Korea students will assist North Korean settlers with their studies at Kumkang School in Seoul, said program leader Nayoung Aimee Kwon, Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern studies. The DukeEngage participants will contribute to the English language classes as well as help teachers with math, sports, art and computer education. Each of the participants will also design their own extracurricular programs for the Korean students.

The program participants will both teach See dukeengage, page 5

A group of faculty at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is trying to ensure that the university’s grade A athletes have the resources to make A grades.

The Athletic Reform Group, an organization composed of UNC faculty, issued a statement Thursday expressing concerns

about topics ranging from student athlete academics to head injuries. The group was founded in the wake of UNC’s 2011 academic scandal, in which several high-profile athletes were found to be enrolled in classes that either did not meet regularly or did not exist.

Deborah Southall, a member of the group and lecturer of exercise and sport

science at UNC, said that the current system puts some athletes at a disadvantage in the classroom.

“A large segment of [the student-athlete] population is horrifically underprepared for college academics,” Southall said.

Southall noted that there is pressure to See athletes, page 5

Faculty celebrate National Day of Writing with retreat

Faculty and students promote creative writing by organizing a retreat.

Creative writing at Duke has found writers from diverse disciplines—despite a lack of awareness across campus, faculty and students claim.

A retreat at the King’s Daughters Inn next to East Campus was held Monday to promote creative writing on the National Day of Writing. Run by Jennifer Ahern-

Dodson, director of outreach for the Thompson Writing Program, the retreat attracted 15 faculty members from multiple disciplines, who participated in timed writing sessions and came together in small groups to receive feedback. The retreat is part of a larger effort to expand creative writing at Duke.

DUSDAC mulls Vine Sushi Student donates $10,000 for Merchants on Points to Duke Forward campaign

YUYI LI/THE CHRONICLE

DUSDAC members are considering adding new vendors to the Merchants on Points program.

by Carleigh Stiehm The ChroniCle

The Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee is considering adding local restaurant Vine Sushi and Thai to their Merchants on Points program next year as part of a continued effort to increase food options for students.

Vine general manager Danny Farr and co-owner Danny lin brought samples of their buy one, get one free sushi rolls and hot noodle dishes to a presentation for DUSDAC members Monday. if approved for Merchants on Points, Vine would deliver to campus for payment by DukeCard.

DUSDAC members also discussed upcoming changes to existing venues.

“This just gives the students a better advantage overall,” Farr said, adding that it would be more convenient for students to be able to pay with food points.

Vendors on the Merchants on Points program establish contracts for full academic years—beginning in July and ending in June each year—addressing allergy and monetary concerns, Director of Dining Services robert Coffey said. DUSDAC will be hearing from various other venues

throughout the year.

Before reaching their decision, senior Chris Taylor, co-chair of DUSDAC, said that the committee must analyze the value that Vine, which opened off east Campus last Fall, will add to students and the potential impacts on other vendors in the program.

Delivery orders from Vine typically reach students in 30 to 40 minutes. The majority of the current deliveries go to east Campus residences and Bostock library, lin said.

Several DUSDAC members were concerned about the $15 minimum charge for delivery, but they were unanimous in their agreement that the food was of high quality.

“We have plenty of variety,” Farr said.

In other business: Tammy hope, Duke Dining’s quality assurance manager, presented information on Duke’s Mystery Diner program. The program allows students and faculty to anonymously provide feedback to administrators about their experiences at the different venues on campus. each venue on campus receives five unannounced visits per month, hope See dusdaC, page 6

Senior Tito Bohrt has announced that he is making a significant donation to the Duke Forward campaign.

Bohrt, founder of Salesource—a startup that saves money on labor costs by placing American workers in tropical locations with low costs of living—has pledged $10,000 to the innovation and entrepreneurship initiative of Duke Forward, a capital campaign to raise $3.25 billion across the University. Bohrt made the donation to thank Duke and its recent alumni for helping him launch his career. “it’s pretty special for an undergraduate to give $10,000,” said eric Toone, Anne T. and robert M. Bass Professor of chemistry and professor of biochemistry, who leads the campaign’s innovation and entrepreneurship initiative. “For someone in Tito’s position to do it—it’s meaningful.”

Bohrt’s history at Duke is one of entrepreneurship. As a sophomore, he started Shelfrelief—a website that sells used textbooks to college students for competitive prices. in 2011, when he was junior, Bohrt founded SaleSource, which is working with software company Citrix Solutions to relocate part of their sales team from raleigh, n.C. to San Jose, Costa rica.

SaleSource is projected to make over $1 million in revenue over the next year, Bohrt said. “i started this business after realizing that the lower cost of living in Central and South America would provide Citrix a better return on investment and create a spectacular experience for the employee,” Bohrt said.

Although Bohrt said that he knows his gift is only a “small drop in the bucket” of Duke Forward’s goal to raise $3.25 billion, he wanted to show that he is happy with what Duke is doing.

The Duke Forward campaign, however, considers Bohrt’s gift to be significant, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “[Bohrt’s] investment in this program is an important vote of confidence and helps

make it possible for future students to have the academic and mentoring experiences that have been so valuable to him,” Schoenfeld wrote in an email Monday.

Toone noted that the innovation and entrepreneurship initiative is trying raise $100 million. “[Bohrt] has given to that and it’s absolutely significant—we value every dollar that people give,” Toone said.

Bohrt said that he hopes that his gift encourages other successful and entrepreneurial alumni to come back and give students a hand. in terms of his time at Duke, Bohrt noted that his approach to his college education has been unlike many of his peers.

“Most people work hard to get a 4.0 GPA and get a job in investment banking,” Bohrt said. “i’ve decided not to play that game and build something myself.” he said that he is probably the only student who celebrates getting a B on a test and who doesn’t focus on his GPA, which is a 2.4.

After he graduates, Bohrt said he plans See BOhrt, page 5

O’Brien explains her goals for digital edu.

After serving as the director of the Center for Instructional Technology for the past 14 years, Lynne O’Brien was announced this summer as Duke’s first ever associate vice provost for digital and online education initiatives. The Chronicle’s Jen Chen talked with O’Brien about her goals in this new position and visions for online teaching.

The Chronicle: Can you share a bit about your path leading up to this point?

Lynne O’Brien: i’ve taught everything from first grade through graduate school. i was a faculty member of Brown University for a while before moving into the area of academic technology. After working at Brown for a number of years, i came here and started the Center for instructional Technology. My Ph.D. was in education so i’ve always been interested in the educational applications of computing—how technologies can help teachers teach better and help students learn better.

TC: What initially made you interested in the field of online academic technology?

LOB: right next to the education Department at Brown where i was located, there was an iBM funded research institute that was developing educational software and experimenting with possible uses of personal computers. i was interested in their way of thinking about educational change—the idea that instead of only changing the learner, you can change the tools, and through that, enable more learning. often times, changes happen slowly in schools, but through the use of technology we can create educational change more quickly. i ended up working with this institute and from there slid into the world of technology.

Q The Chronicle

director of Duke’s CiT and what were some of the most meaningful projects that you were involved in?

LOB: When i came here to start the CiT, the University’s and my goal was to ensure that the faculty members were aware of the technologies that could be used for teaching and to help them use them when it made sense for them. one of the fun projects was the iPod project, where we distributed iPods to students to find out how mobile devices might have an impact on education. We also had the first course management system in place that made it easier for faculty to distribute course materials—before then, you had to code to have a course webpage.

We’ve had a lot of interesting projects that have encouraged faculty members to make their classes more interactive. Through using technology outside of class like recorded lectures or online assignments, more class time can be spent for discussion or problem solving. Using technology during class time— such as a survey tool called Clickers—can help faculty members get student opinions where they may not otherwise raise their hands to [speak]. The idea of creating engaging, active class time is something we’ve been working on over the years.

Also, one of our strategic plan goals is for Duke to be a global institution and i think online education can help make that possible, not only by bringing our education out into the world but also by bringing people all over the world into our campus. That diverse global perspective is very important for Duke undergraduates.

The third thing that online education is good for is showing the world our terrific faculty and programs. Through some of the things we’ve done last year we’ve received positive comments from people all over the world and that’s a great thing for us.

TC: What are your goals and visions on your new position?

LOB: Some of the goals are the same, such as i want to see online technology used to enhance learning and to support the goals that faculty members have. i’m particularly interested in how online technologies can be used to teach innovation, for example, through the use of online materials and more customized individual activities for students.

TC: What do you foresee as the future of online teaching and learning?

LOB: At Duke our primary emphasis will always be on face-to-face classes, but hybrid courses and activities will be an increasing part of many Duke courses. We may have face-to-face classes that use some online materials, or we may have parts of the course online and parts of it face-to-face. Faculty can

TC: one of the main initiatives you are currently leading deals with Massive online open Courses, can you please describe what that is and how it is going?

LOB: last year was our first year working on MooCs. We created 11 courses, most of which will be retaught this year. in addition, we will have 10 new courses. By the end of this academic year almost every school at Duke will have created at least one MooC. We’ve tried introductory and advanced courses in all different subject areas. The idea is to let different faculties try different things so that we can see what are the most useful under what circumstances.

Medical student discusses interacting with patients Every week The Chronicle collects pre-medical students’ most pressing questions and poses them to professionals in the field of medicine. The Chronicle’s Patricia Spears sat down with Christian Horazeck, Trinity ‘09 and a third-year medical student, to discuss private practices, medical school curriculum and communicating with patients.

The Chronicle: Do you think that private practices will ever make a comeback?

Christian Horazeck: i think that really will depend on the field, honestly. Solo private practices are very much having a hard time sustaining themselves, but there is a move going to the multi-specialty, multi-provider practices that [essentially] combine the feeling of a clinic with the private practice setting—and those are still being successful.

TC: how often do you see medical students changing their mind about what kind of specialty they want to go into?

CH: That happens all the time. i personally went from internal medicine to anesthesia, and i’ve seen people jump from surgery to gynecology to dermatology, and back to surgery. You have residents switching fields. This is just very common [because] you like everything when you first see it and then you realize [that something else] feels even cooler.

TC: has the curriculum in medical school changed to reflect the new emphasis on sociology and psychology in the MCAT? CH: There’s definitely been a change— more and more medical schools are placing an emphasis on ethics. So you’ll have ethics courses, global health courses [and] sociological factors influencing medicine. Then there is this whole movement of getting hu-

manistic aspects back into medicine and i think this really goes well with that change in the emphasis on the MCAT for sociology and psychology.

TC: What do you think is more important for a doctor—having great medical knowledge and skills or having great bedside manner?

CH: it’s hard to keep those two apart. i think in order to be a good doctor, you have to have both. Whether or not both of them have to be great, not necessarily. But honestly, you can have the best skills, [but] if you can’t provide it to a patient in a manner the patient accepts, you won’t be a good doctor.

And it doesn’t really help the patient if you have the most wonderful bedside manner but cannot make up the lack of knowledge, so really you need both. Some fields, it’s better to have one or the other. [For example], surgeons don’t need much of a bedside manner, but even then it matters, and it definitely comes through. The more research we do, it really matters the way patients are thinking the doctor is behaving towards them.

TC: When students volunteer at the hospital, they sometimes feel like their conversations with patients seem contrived and insincere. Do medical students struggle with this problem?

CH: Definitely. i think in the beginning, every medical school has some sort of a course where you practice being with patients, and talking to them, which can feel very contrived. You’ll have standardized patients where it’s very weird to put yourself in that position, but even on the wards, you feel like you’re not really belonging there or that

you’re asking the wrong questions. What you realize step by step is that patients really appreciate even the most seemingly contrived conversations, and at the same time, your conversations become more and more focused.

The other... problem is with the volunteer work, you don’t have the knowledge necessarily to interact with patients in the most meaningful manner. So the more you move along, from one year of medical school to the next, the more pertinent your conversations become, and the more meaningful they seem.

TC: Did your expectations going into medical school meet reality?

CH: Definitely. i went to medical school wanting to get three things accomplished. i wanted to have a lot of medical knowledge, i wanted to be able to be comfortable around patients and i wanted to be able to do well in procedures. And it might not seem that way while you’re doing it—sometimes in first and second year it felt like i was just treading water. But now looking back and comparing myself to lower-level medical students, it’s just extremely, extremely impressive how much we learn. i remember looking back at the first time i stood in front of a patient’s door and being all jittery about the fact that, ‘oh my god, i have to talk to a person about their illness.’ And now i can walk into a resuscitation bay in the emergency department and get the most important information of a horribly injured patient within minutes, and it’s just such a change in confidence. it really is fantastic to realize how much you’ve gone through, and how much you’ve learned. it definitely met my expectations.

give athletes grades they do not deserve instead of expecting them to be at the same academic level as other students. “it puts me in a position to have to challenge my own professionalism, integrity, ethics and values,” Southall said.

Southall noted one summer when a UnC basketball player had enrolled in one of her classes. The player far surpassed the maximum number of absences allowed by class rules. As a result, she gave him a failing grade.

“That was a rough year for me,” Southall said. “i didn’t get too many basketball players in my class after that.”

But the problems of college athletics extend beyond the bounds of UnC’s campus because players come from differing socioeconomic backgrounds and educational preparedness, noted richard Southall, former ArG member and director of the College Sport research institute at the University of South Carolina. Athletes in revenue sports are generally less prepared for college than other athletes, he added. of all national Collegiate Athletic Association athletes, only 4 percent are “profit athletes.” richard Southall said the other 96 percent are “expenditure athletes,” who are able to compete even though they do not generate profit, because football and men’s basketball raise enough money to cover expenses of other athletic teams. As a result, there is little incentive for expenditure athletes—the majority—to support stricter academic criteria for all athletes, including those in revenue sports.

“96 percent of the athletes want to keep their mouth shut [about the current revenue system],” he said.

Brad Berndt, associate director of athletics, academic services and student services

at Duke, said the admissions criteria for athletes must be determined by individual universities. “it is an institutional issue and not an nCAA issue,” Berndt said. “each school has to decide what type of student can succeed.”

Deborah Southall said that she was frustrated with the response the group has gotten from UnC. “Why are we even having to talk about some of these things?” she said.

She added that the group had met with UnC Athletic Director lawrence “Bubba” Cunningham in the past but little had been accomplished.

“We have had dialogues and [Cunningham] has always appeared to be very open to listening and discussing the concerns,” Deborah Southall said. “[But] after a while you get the smiles and the nodding heads.”

Cunningham could not be reached for comment.

Jay Smith, the ArG’s founder and a professor of history at UnC, noted the group is focused on ensuring athletes are able to experience the education guaranteed them by their scholarships.

The statement issued before UnC’s football game against the University of Miami was meant to both attract attention to the cause and show the group’s support for UnC athletes, Smith added.

But he said that, aside from some press coverage detailing the football players’ support for the group, the statement has not ignited much change.

“The impact [of the statement] has not been all that impressive,” he said. regardless of whether the statement is heard nationally, lewis Margolis, associate professor of maternal and child health, said that UnC should accept athletes who have the ability to contribute in the classroom.

“UnC should be taking students who are capable of benefitting from the wonderful educational opportunities that the university offers,” Margolis said. “Any university should not be compromising its academic standards in order to advance the skills of its football team. That’s unacceptable.”

and learn while in Seoul, Kwon said, adding that it is important for the Duke students to learn about the cultural context of the country.

“We want students to intellectually engage in the history, political economy and culture of the two Koreas,” Kwon said.

The program plans to target two groups of Duke students: bilingual speakers with previous knowledge of Korean culture and nonbilingual students who have less firsthand experience with Korean culture, Kwon said. She added that she hopes taking a diverse group of students will allow each of them to leave the program with a meaningful takeaway.

Dukeengage in Miami will focus on working with members of the latino population.

Program leader Jenny Snead Williams—executive director of the latino/a Studies in the Global South certificate program—said she realized the importance of assisting the growing hispanic population in the United States after working with Dukeengage in Tucson, Az. Williams will continue as one of the leaders of the Tucson program for her third year. “i chose Miami for its unique identity as the ‘capital of latin America’ positioned within the southeastern U.S.,” Williams said.

Participants will work with UniDAD of Miami Beach, an organization dedicated to advocacy and leadership development for residents of Miami Beach with an emphasis on

the hispanic population. Students will serve as mentors to high school students, facilitate health care and english as a Second language workshops and assist senior citizens in the area.

Williams referred to this as vertical integration because it provides students with both a learning and teaching experience with different groups of people within the latino community.

As part of the new Dukeengage program in Serbia, students will be placed with different organizations working on social change efforts in the country, which has seen a number of conflicts in wake of the Breakup of Yugoslavia, said program leader lauren Clarke, dean for custom and comparative programs at the SiT Study Abroad/World learning.

“We felt that a program on post-conflict social transformation would provide a fascinating opportunity for students,” Clarke said.

“The development of civil society in Serbia in the past two decades offers many meaningful placements with nGos and advocacy groups.”

Participants in the Dukeengage in Detroit program will be placed into teams and matched with local community partners. The students will collaborate with the organizations to create and implement projects beneficial to the area in a variety of possible ways, including economic development, environmental sustainability and health innovation. each of the new programs plans to accept up to eight students.

time out for their own writing and reconnect with each other,” Ahern-Dodson said. “As faculty we’re so immersed in our teaching and our own departments that we aren’t able to make connections.”

The retreat is part of the Faculty Write program—now in its second year—which Ahern-Dodson created to provide faculty easier access to a writing community.

After she started a writing group to help with her own writing, Ahern-Dodson found other faculty were interested and wanted to form groups of their own, she said. Faculty Write holds retreats and workshops for faculty, including a three-day retreat each May. “A lot of times it helps sustain momentum when you’re writing side-by-side with other people,” Ahern-Dodson said.

Ahern-Dodson said that an overarching goal of the retreat is for participants to learn to think of themselves as writers in addition to teachers and researchers.

Since starting the program, Ahern-Dodson has encountered more faculty members who are interested in creative writing.

Fiction Writers Anonymous, for example, brings in faculty from multiple disciplines to experiment in fiction writing.

“The Faculty Write program opened up a space to talk about creative writing when you’re not a creative writer,” Ahern-Dodson said.

This shift in the role of creative writing on campus can be seen among undergraduates as well, including the creation of the creative writing minor last Spring.

“Once you meet a student interested in creative writing, you realize the numerous opportunities available across campus, from visiting authors to creative writing workshops to publications,” sophomore

Katie Fernelius, co-editor of Duke’s literary magazine The Archive wrote in an email on Sunday.

Senior Allison Shen, co-editor of The Archive, said that while she thinks the minor will eventually become more popular, it is difficult to incorporate into the English major, which has its own requirements.

Shen and Fernelius are hopeful for Duke’s creative writing scene, though both said it lacks visibility among students.

“It’s really vibrant, but people aren’t necessarily as aware of it as at other schools,” Shen said. “I don’t really know why that is— maybe it’s a ‘this is a sports school’ thing.”

Fernelius said that although she likes the intimacy of Duke’s small creative writing community, its size can also be a limitation.

“At times, it can be hard to find outlets to grow and develop writing outside of just classes and literary magazines,” said Fernelius, who has written for The Chronicle in the past. “Casual writing workshops are not readily available and it can be difficult to find the audience for acclaimed authors.”

The creative writing programs available attract students from all academic backgrounds.

“The submissions we get aren’t all from humanities majors—[we have] a lot of people on staff who are science majors and engineers, not something you would really expect,” Shen said.

Shen said this is a strength because it leads to a more diverse selection of writing and multiple perspectives, as students tend to write about subjects they are more knowledgeable about.

Ahern-Dodson also emphasized the significance of bringing together writers from a variety of disciplines.

“It’s important for us to connect as writers across different departments and disciplines,” she said.

Shen and Fernelius agreed that the creative writing scene is flourishing despite lack of widespread awareness among students.

“What I do see is people are being very creative and doing very cool things,” Shen said. “[It’s a] very cool community, I wish it were more well-known.”

said. She noted that the program has about 80 members but is always looking to accept more.

“It helps you start to think about vendors from a critical standpoint,” Taylor said of the program.

Barbara Stokes, assistant director of Dining Services, said the first few days of having food trucks at lunchtime are not going well.

“The first day, Foster’s made less than $100,” Stokes said, adding that Captain Ponchos had a total of five customers Monday.

Sophomore Lavanya Sunder, Duke Student Government vice president for services, said she is going to work on a campaign to increase publicity for the new lunchtime hours.

“Our idea with bringing these food trucks was that we wanted more variety and priceconscious choices,” Taylor said, echoing the need for more publicity.

Red Mango currently opens at 10 a.m. every day, but they are looking at changing their hours to open at 12 p.m. on the weekends.

Red Mango typically receives less than 3 percent of their total daily business before noon on weekends.

Several students and Stokes said that they recommend that the venue push back their opening to 11 a.m.

“You don’t want to have to cut back twice though,” said junior Nikolai Doytchinov, DSG executive vice president.

also use online technology for extra projects so the parts students learn in class will be more complex and advanced.

Another thing that we will see is more sharing of courses across institutions, such as faculty members here at Duke and faculty members at our new campus in China now developing courses together and teaching them together.

A third thing is that online courses can help make students’ schedules more flexible and can give them more individualized ways of approaching their classes.

There can be materials that students can take before they start classes if their skills are a little weak, and there can be some advanced materials that people can pursue on their own if they get through the courses quickly.

Another thing I see is that we have some MOOC courses that are not for credit and don’t charge tuition. This can allow students to sample a subject area before enrolling in a credit course.

TC: What are some of the challenges in promoting online teaching and how will you address them?

LOB: For online education to work well, it has to be done well. There is sometimes the perception that online education is easier and not as rigorous, so a big challenge is to change that perception. As well, we need to fined out where the role of online is in a university where campus teaching is the gold standard. A third thing is figuring out the long time impact on things like course credit and course length­­—a lot of questions are being raised about these areas and we will need to sort some of these things out.

Sophomore Beatrice Capra defeated Hayley Carter of North Carolina to win the singles championships at the ITA Carolina Regional.

After dropping the first set of the final, Capra stormed back to take a tight 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win.

Capra’s victory marked the second straight win for the Blue Devils at this event, as senior Hanna Mar took home the title last year.

“Any time one of our players can win this event it’s a good thing,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “It’s a good statement for our team. You have a lot of teams from the conference that we’ll see later in the year so it helps our team tremendously to know we have the player who won the Regionals.”

Capra, along with seniors Mar and Marianne Jodoin, juniors Ester Goldfeld and Annie Mulholland and freshmen Alyssa Smith and Chalena Scholl, all participated at the tournament held at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center in Chapel Hill, N.C. Coming into the singles final, Carter had lost just one match during the entire fall season. Down a set and trailing 3-1 in the second, Capra—ranked as the No. 27 singles player in the country in the ITA’s preseason rankings— broke Carter and took control from there.

“After that, it showed that I wasn’t going anywhere and was going to fight for every single point,” Capra said. “I got the momentum back and was able to close it out.”

Although Capra was the standout performer of the tournament, a number of her Duke teammates also had successful weekends. Jodoin reached the quarterfinals of the singles

out the fall.

“Since the first tournament in Cary, I think as a team we’re really improving,” Jodoin said.

“We’re working really hard every day. I think the coaches have done a really good job with

The Kansas City Chiefs have been making headlines this season thanks to surprisingly dominant play on the field; however, it was the fan base that was making noise…a lot of noise.

Chiefs fans generated a crowd roar of 137.5 decibels during the team’s contest against the Oakland Raiders, breaking the record for loudest sports fans in the world.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is this is the first non-negative story in regards to sports fans in weeks.

For starters, you have fan treatment of Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub. As a result of a bad series of games for Schaub, in which he threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown in four straight games, Texans fans started to display their frustration. They burned Schaub’s jersey, called for his job and openly booed their starter early and often.

Things got so bad for Schaub that after suffering an ankle injury against the St Louis Rams, fans cheered as he was escorted off the field.

Duke hopes to avoid first-ever loss to Elon

by Delaney King THE CHRONICLE

Coming fresh off of their first conference win, the Blue Devils have two weeks of regular season play left to keep their postseason dreams alive.

Duke will square off against No. 25 Elon Tuesday at 7 No. 25 p.m. at Koskinen Elon Stadium. The Blue vs.

Devils have not lost Duke to the Phoenix in school history, and they will look to conTUESDAY, 7 p.m. tinue this streak in Koskinen Stadium their final nonconference game of the season.

“It’s a huge game because they’re doing

so well this season,” head coach John Kerr said. “We’ll have our work cut out for us but it’s a great game to have in terms of nonconference because if you are able to win, it really helps you.”

Duke (5-4-5) is currently trying to edge its way up the ACC rankings to earn a spot in ACC and NCAA tournaments. A win against a ranked opponent could not only help Duke’s postseason chances, but also prepare the squad for its final three conference matchups, two of which are against ranked opponents.

Despite suffering a loss in its most recent match against Furman, Elon (10-3-1) has had an impressive season so far and has See M. SOCCER, page 8

won eight of its 10 nonconference contests.

Junior forward Jason Waterman leads the Phoenix in points, notching six goals and six assists on the season. Senior midfielder Matt Wescoe holds the team lead with seven assists and has added four tallies.

“They’ve got a really good midfield, they’re very tenacious, and they’re good in the tackle,” Kerr said. “[They] had a great year last year, so they’re gonna be hard to beat.”

The Elon midfield will square off with a Duke defense that has allowed just one goal in its last four games. Led by graduate student goalkeeper Alex Long, the Blue Devils have benefitted from their new defensive alignment since sophomore Zach Mathers has moved from the midfield to center back.

Despite offensive struggles all season, the Blue Devil offense managed its third first-half goal in the win Friday against Boston College.

Scoring a goal in the 10th minute gave Duke the spark it needed to knock off the Eagles and secure its first ACC victory of the season.

“We scored a goal early in the game which was a good bonus for us—it gave us a lot of confidence, and from then on we really played with a lot of aggressiveness and control,” Kerr said. “That’s been missing from our offense the past couple of weeks, so I’m hoping we can continue that trend.”

To pick up an early lead, the Blue Devils will need to beat Elon goalkeeper Nathan Dean. The junior has recorded six shutouts on the season has posted a 0.68 goals against average, ranking 13th in the nation with a .848 save percentage.

In their last three meetings, Duke and Elon have fought to a draw, but this late in the season, what the Blue Devils need is a win to send them into their final three conference games—but the Phoenix will not make it easy.

Scoring more than twice as many goals as it has allowed all season, Elon will come to Durham Tuesday more than ready to claim its first win against Duke. “[Elon] beat Wake forest, who is top in our league right now,” Kerr said. “They’re very capable, so we’re going to have to be on our toes, be sharp, and be ready for them.”

fan Jonathan Denver was the victim of a fatal stabbing following a game in September. Denver attended the game on his birthday with friends and was attacked after a short shouting match with at least one reported San Francisco Giants fan. This incident came just two years after Giants fan Bryan Stow suffered permanent brain damage when he was attacked in Los Angeles.

In 2011, the same year Stow was attacked, the Vancouver Canucks fell to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final at home.

Canucks fans, following the loss, proceeded to riot through the streets of Vancouver. I’m not talking about the average championship riot; I’m talking about Egyptian soccer riots.

The reports following the Vancouver riot are staggering. At least 140 people were reported injured, four people were stabbed, nine police officers were injured, and more than 100 people were arrested. While other nations have had numerous problems with sporting riots, most often associated with soccer, it is not often you see such open aggression following professional sports in the United States and Canada.

It is fitting that this past week marked the ten-year anniversary of the Steve Bartman foul ball fiasco, when one of sports’ most passionate fan bases demonized one of their own for doing what every fan would do: try to catch a fly ball. I have no problem with fans taking sports watching seriously. Where I draw the line is when people are put in danger as a result of a false sense of dutiful fandom. Fans need to get it together, because right now they’re making noise for all of the wrong reasons.

Of course, this is nothing new.

It was only a season ago that Chiefs starting quarterback Matt Cassel was greeted with cheers following a hit that knocked him momentarily unconscious. I don’t care how bad someone has played, both are classless moves by Houston and Kansas City fans, respectively.

Where Texans fans really went above and beyond was when they traveled to Schaub’s house, voiced their displeasure, and even took pictures. Berating a player on the field is one thing. Berating a player at his home is an entirely different one.

This is a despicable act and, quite frankly, one that is reminiscent of a darker time in American history. This is the 21st century people, there’s a fine line between disapproval and borderline insanity.

Even after games have ended, fans have continued to act in a barbaric manner. Following the New York Jets victory over the New England Patriots last Sunday, a male Jets fan punched a female Patriots fan in the face. Video of the altercation went viral almost instantly, amassing nearly 700,000 views on YouTube in 24 hours. This is unacceptable. I have no doubt that this altercation was spurred by alcohol consumption and a belligerent argument, but at no time is it ever ok for a man to hit a woman. Period.

To be clear, sporting events are not stages for fights in general, regardless of who is participating in the fight (unless it’s hockey...fighting in hockey is great). Too often we have seen fan altercations result in serious injuries. Los Angeles Dodgers

that, and the results have shown that. They’re much better than what they were at the beginning of the season.”

With a packed month of November quickly approaching, Ashworth said he still sees room for the team to improve for the rest of its fall slate and heading into the spring.

One of the areas Ashworth will likely concentrate on will be in his team’s doubles play.

Capra and Mar entered the tournament as the top-seeded team, but fell to North Carolina’s Laura Slater and Kate Vialle 8-7 in the Round of 16. Mulholland and Scholl fell 8-3 to Clemson’s Beatrice Gumulya and Jessy Romples, the tournament’s No. 3 seed. Tar Heels Carter kakuro_397C.txt and Jamie Loeb dispatched Jodoin and Smith

with little difficulty, winning 8-1.

“We definitely had some good wins in singles. But as a whole, our doubles was still a little disappointing to not have any teams advance past the quarters,” Ashworth said. “I think that’s something we need to work on.

We’ve got to do a better job all around with our doubles play.”

With a title under her belt and a number of challenges on the horizon, Capra’s next step will be to build off of a successful weekend on the other end of Tobacco Road.

“I was so happy with not only the way I competed, but also the way all my teammates competed,” Capra said. “Hopefully we can build off of this. I’m really excited for the season because I think everyone is really determined to do well.”

rethinking gender violence When we think of gender violence on campus, we often refer to high-profile events in our collective Duke memory: the 2006 lacrosse scandal, the 2012 repeal of the statute of limitations on sexual misconduct reporting and ongoing debates about the boundaries of consent. While these focal points rouse much-needed dialogue on important issues—namely, appropriate sexual conduct and victim support— they fail to adequately highlight the regularity and extent of gender violence perpetrated at Duke. The reported numbers alone are shocking. According to the 2012 “Report on Gender and the Undergraduate Experience,” 101 Duke students sought services from the of Office of Gender Violence Prevention and Intervention in 2011, with that number expected to increase. Moreover, as we noted in yesterday’s editorial, 31 percent of women at Duke have reported unwanted sexual contact from another Duke student, which is higher than the national average. Even more alarming, these numbers only represent a fraction of acts committed. As we mentioned in Monday’s editorial, individuals with the kinds of hierarchical views that dominate at Duke are the least likely to report sexual misconduct. Furthermore, misplaced stigma attached to victim services, conformity to traditional gender roles and fears of social alienation all discour-

age victims from seeking the psychological, medical and legal support they might need to overcome traumatic incidents. Gender violence is a problem at Duke. While debates about the definition of acquaintance rape are productive, we must broaden our understanding of gender violence to grasp the

Editorial full depth and breadth of an issue that affects people of all gender and sexual identities. Since we imagine our University community to be characterized by trust and respect, it is difficult to accept that gender violence happens at Duke. The reality, however, is that even people whom we perceive to be goodhearted are capable of committing gender violence.

Duke students perpetrated ninety-five percent of the sexual misconduct cases at the University during the 2012-2013 school year, said Ada Gregory, director of the Woman’s Center. Stopping gender violence will require a sober assessment of our community’s norms and a willingness to dismantle norms that support, however indirectly, violent behavior.

ear Andrew, I saw all the Common Ground kids on the Bryan Center Plaza last week wearing matching t-shirts. Don’t they have other shirts? And did they actually learn anything from their massive brainwashing session, aside from what “LGBTQIA” actually stands for?

–Skeptical Student Dear Skeptical Student, They do have other shirts. Soon they’ll wear something other than CG shirts and talk about something other than CG. I promise. (If you haven’t heard of Common Ground before, it is a free, student-led, fourday diversity immersion retreat that focuses on race, gender, sexuality and socioeconomic status.)

As to your second question, I’ll answer with my personal experience. (Shocker.) I did learn a lot, but not as the caricature of the overly enthusiastic CG participant; I wasn’t suddenly transformed from an ignorant bigot to an enlightened activist. I’ve experienced a modest, incremental and ongoing learning process that has continued since I participated in Spring 2013.

Here’s one thing I’ve learned: White is not the absence of color. White is a color, too. I’m white. Growing up, I lived in a white-majority suburb, attended a white-majority church and went to a white-majority school. White was the norm, and “colored” was the exception. It wasn’t a bad exception, just different. My second grade teacher was black. In third grade, my newest friend was Mexican. My beloved minister was black (and female and gay, incidentally). But most of the people around me were white, like me. White was predominant. Therefore, it was the norm.

This summer, I lived in Salvador, Brazil. The city of 3 million is the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture. The city is predominantly black; Afro-reggae and Afro-ska (it’s a thing) play in nightclubs; the women who are considered most attractive have curvy hips, curly hair and dark skin. Dark skin is the norm. My whiteness stuck out as different. It’s important to recognize that being in the minority did not undermine the privileged position of light skin. TV stars and local politicians were almost universally light-skinned; if you judged Brazil by its telenovelas, you’d think that most Brazilians look like Swedes. That fact made it easier for me as a lightskinned visitor to be treated with unearned respect as well as unwanted attention from aggressive vendors.

Although I was numerically in the minority, my light skin still resulted in more societal privileges than negative repercussions. Living in the inverted world of Salvador deepened this Common Ground takeaway. For the first time, I saw myself as colorful rather than colorless. Before college, I conceived of race as a canvas; you were white by default, unless there was some other color painted on top of that white canvas.

That paradigm encourages a world where white is the norm and other skin colors are abnormal, appropriate for gawking at. It also encourages the pervasive “one

Awareness Month, is dedicated to increasing student awareness of gender violence. The Women’s Center is hosting events that encourage meaningful student dialogue on this issue, such as Prevention Action Challenge Training, leading conversations about consent and sharing bystander success stories on the blog Develle Dish. Such programs serve an important role in broadening our understanding of appropriate sexual conduct, debunking myths about consent and encouraging students to work to prevent sexual violence. This proactive education is necessary, and we hope these conversations continue beyond this week. Discussions about gender violence are particularly important during the first week of school when new norms for college behavior are being set. The good news is that, with increased programming—including mandatory PACT training for all new Greek members—the current trend points towards greater awareness. Ultimately, we need to hold each other accountable for our actions in order to create a safe community for our peers. To this end, we support equipping students with the tools needed to behave appropriately and hope to see more events like Gender Violence Awareness Week in the future.

This is the second editorial in a two-part series on gender violence.

drop” mentality: You’re white only if every one of your ancestors came from Europe, and you’re ‘colored’ if any ancestor came from anywhere else. Perhaps most importantly, seeing my own color means that I can

Andrew Kragie elevator pitch begin to see white privilege—what Peggy McIntosh describes as the “invisible package of unearned assets, which I can count on cashing in each day” simply because of my skin color. In my life, these range from a lower chance of getting frisked by NYC police to a higher chance of connecting with an interviewer or Duke administrator because we look alike. Do I feel “white guilt” now that I see my skin color more clearly?

Heck no. I don’t act to oppress people—friends—who are not white. This evolution, however, has changed the way I think and act. I’m more apt to look for structures and stereotypes that harm minorities but do not harm me because I fit the white norm. In my classes, I sometimes watch who gets called on most, or who is selected to speak during class debates. All too often, it’s white men (especially tall ones), regardless of who could actually contribute the most. This new view of my own skin color made me notice that Duke’s top administrators are almost exclusively white and made me question how that might affect policies towards, say, funding for greek organizations. I see an athletic and beautiful student body and wonder why certain shapes and hair types are so often preferred.

Fifty years ago this summer, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered the famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the 1963 March on Washington. Had I been alive 50 years ago, I hope I would have attended the march.

Common Ground didn’t turn me into a radical. But it did help me become someone who would go to the March on Washington, someone who does argue for marriage equality and someone who sees the color of his own skin. The retreat played a crucial role in my lifelong learning process, not by trying to brainwash me, but by challenging me through dialogue and reflection.

So, Skeptical Student, most people do learn something from Common Ground. The lessons that participants learn are diverse, as you might expect from a diversity retreat. They don’t all learn the same things.

But it’s safe to say that they do all learn some things, and many of those things are exceptionally worth learning.

What if DsG had political parties?

O

n April 11, 2012, the University of California, Berkeley’s student senate met to discuss an executive order issued by their student body president. Her order had overturned a referendum that increased student fees by $2 in order to close The Daily Californian’s budget deficit. After a video of the meeting was posted online, a link to it was sent to me, and I shared it widely with my fellow student government junkies. The meeting was not itself controversial, or even very entertaining, but it was an inspiring example of the way a student senate should operate. In that senate meeting there was substantive discussion from the beginning to the end, discussion that was balanced and determined, but never divisive. It is a video I still discuss with members of student governments across the nation, because I am envious and wish all universities had political institutions that operated with such diligence.

Berkeley is famous for its student politics and advocacy, and this could be a driving factor behind the intensity of their student government. But members of Duke Student Government are also political, capable and fantastic advocates, and they are not flippant about their jobs. Instead, it seems a few institutional factors unique to Berkeley have yielded a student government that is substantively partisan. This partisanship is adversarial, which at times appears uncomfortable on a college campus, but it is a partisanship also committed to results, and it rarely wavers from its task. Could Duke have a more effective student government if we designed ourselves to be a little more adversarial?

What makes Berkeley different? First, students are more invested in their student government. Hundreds of students turn up for election watch parties, around 13,000 votes are cast every year, and hundreds of students volunteer with student campaigns. Despite the large following, the number of student elected officials is small. Most student governments have 50 to 70 members; Berkeley has just 20 senators. A smaller legislative body means that every race is hotly contested and thoroughly vetted by the electorate. Additionally, the smaller Senate provides more intimate and purposeful discussion, giving legislation increased depth and context.

The second unique feature of Berkeley’s student government is the presence of political parties. There are three main student political parties at Berkeley: Student Action, SQUELCH! and CalSERVE. While these political parties do have unique policy goals, it appears that they exist more for the organization, networking and consolidation of political power. These parties are made of students who have experience campaigning together, are united on policy objectives and are further bounded by their party’s camaraderie.

The existence of political parties leads to more student outreach, targeted campaigning and actionable policy goals. The most important feature of Berkeley’s political parties is their ability to overcome transient membership within student government. Political parties establish reputations and legacies, so elected students are actually held to the platforms they propose

to complete while in office. On other campuses, student politicians are rarely held to their platforms because the consequences are minimal if they will be leaving campus in a year. It becomes easy to promise much and return little.

The final unique feature of Berkeley’s student government is not a part of the student government at all, but rather, the quality of The Daily Californian.

Berkeley’s student newspaper covers its student government differently than how its peer institutions

The price is right

light to Africa: $1500. Rent: $400. That safari you’ll go on: $125. Food: $400. International SOS Coverage: $200. Cost to student: priceless.

Come on down, Duke students! Boy, does Bob Barker have an all-inclusive showcase and some unnecessarily frequent hugs for you! Every summer, programs like DukeEngage and Sanford’s Service Opportunities in Leadership, institutions like the Duke Global Health Initiative and scholarships like the Benjamin N. Duke Scholarship Program send hundreds of students abroad with funding to complete service projects and contribute to the global community.

cover student politics—stories are issue and events-driven rather than regularly recurring articles. The increased flexibility to cover student government provides more room for investigative journalism. The Daily Californian breaks stories of campaign malfeasance, so opponents do not have to do the work themselves, and it thoroughly evaluates the policy and programming proposals of candidates. Additionally, The Daily Californian has extensive multimedia content—they post videos of student government meetings, thereby heightening the standard for substantive conversation. More than any government structure or norm, the existence of a robust, opinionated and critical press makes Berkeley’s student government enviable.

Berkeley is a very different school from Duke, and some of their practices would not work well here. Their larger student body also gives them a labor advantage when it comes to staffing journalists and campaign volunteers. Unfortunately, after speaking to a few students at Berkeley who are not directly affiliated with student government, I have also learned how student political parties can go terribly awry. Some political parties at Berkeley are rumored to have demanded that their executive and senate candidates change their appearance before an election and end romantic ties to controversial students. Whether or not these rumors are true, they do recall some of the worst characteristics of any political party. Parties often abandon integrity to maintain power—I am reminded of the smoky methods once used in American politics to select party nominees before the primary system was introduced.

Nevertheless, Berkeley provides an interesting model to evaluate when we consider the flaws in our own system of government. One wonders what Duke Student Government might be like if there were fewer unanimous votes and more partisanship. We might see more substantive discussion of dining options, tailgate and endowment transparency.

And Duke isn’t alone. Princeton University funds “bridge-year” programs, sending incoming freshmen on University-sponsored international service trips. Yale offers funding for Spring break and summer service trips through their Reach Out Program.

With all of this investment, there is an implicit value statement: sending a student abroad is worth it. It costs thousands of dollars to send a single student abroad; international service trips can hardly be considered to be free labor. Yet somewhere along the line a donor or organization or university has decided that it’s worth the money.So what do you get for that money? Sometimes you get English classes, sometimes a newly constructed school. Lots of students work with microfinance organizations, lots work in hospitals and clinics.

The thing about college students is that, with a summer service trip, what you get is two or three months of unskilled labor. Often we have a passion about something or an interest in something, but rarely are college students coming for a few months in a position to really offer something new. Doctors Without Borders and similar programs make more sense to me. The value of adequate medical care is clear, and, in some circumstances and locations, there is a distinct lack of qualified doctors. But where in the world is there a distinct lack of what college students offer? A distinct lack of people who, while educated, don’t have particularly unique skills? Most of the jobs that service trips accomplish could have been accomplished by the local community had even a fraction of the money spent on the service trip been redirected to fund a local project. How do you justify spending thousands of dollars to provide “free labor” to a community when that money could be paid to a community member to do the same job? Local income generation only makes further development possible, and sustainable development is that which is accomplished by community members themselves. If you assert that these trips are a waste of money though, you’ll come under some pretty serious fire. Telling anybody that a life-changing experience they’ve had was a waste of someone else’s money is never the safest of options. How could you possibly consider the construction of a school, which now provides hundreds of children with a place to learn, a waste? How could you say that trying to help AIDs patients adjust to the necessary lifestyle isn’t worth it? More importantly, how can you say that the sacrifices someone made and the homesickness they felt in order to selflessly help others wasn’t merited?

Allude to anything but the merits of service and people begin to get defensive, but I think often people don’t distinguish between the different ways something can be considered to be wasteful. Either the act itself is a waste, or the method in which the act is accomplished could be a waste. Obviously doing your math homework has value, but flying in a ringer to do it for you seems to be upsetting the whole cost versus pay off balance. Sometimes it seems as though development work is conducted in a manner that wastes a significant amount of money and effort while hiding behind the claim that humanitarian efforts are never a waste. Volunteer work and helping others is untouchable; only the immoral and the selfish are there to speak against it. But this makes me wonder: What would happen if students doing service trips had to pay their own way? Obviously that would exclude a large percentage of people who aren’t able to pay for such an expensive trip from having that experience. But for those who have the money, would they still go? What price tag would they put on their own service? Would they consider their personal development to only be possible with a $1500 plane ticket?

My work this summer wasn’t worth the cost given the benefit to the community. Guess what? Solar panels and electricians already exist in Uganda. There are Ugandan entrepreneurs and innovators who could have done what my project did and so much more with that funding. I also couldn’t have made the decision to personally invest that much money on three months of my life.

But I don’t have to, and neither do other Duke students. Quite simply, we have incredible opportunities to snag all-inclusive developing world get-aways. This makes it easy to forget that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. To be able to say we’ve made an impact abroad, we must think critically about balancing money spent with the respective values of personal development and service.
