Food cart sales have nearly frozen over as a result of location changes in anticipation of West Union renovations.

Locopops can no longer afford to man its stand outside of the Penn Pavilion, due to decreased revenue as a result of the move.

Previously, the frozen treats stand was located outside the West Union building, near the entrance to the Bryan Center plaza from the residential quad.

“Our business dropped 70 percent of sales on a weekly basis,” Locopops owner Summer Bicknell said.

The pops will still be available for purchase as Gus Megaloudis, The Greek Devil food cart owner, is currently manning the Locopops’ stand upon customer’s request.

“I made a deal with them so that they do not close down,” Megaloudis said. “I take over their stand but sell their pops through their account. I am already here so they do not have to pay an employee every day.

Hpuse Bill 957will permit students at public universities to stow handguns in locked vehicles.

by Grace Wang The Chronicle

As of today, licensed gun owners who are in public college in North Carolina are allowed to conceal their handguns in locked vehicles.

The legislation — passed as a provision of House Bill 937 in July by Governor Pat McCrory — applies explicitly to public universities and colleges in North Carolina. Duke University officials responded by issuing a statement several days ago prohibiting guns

on campus whatsoever, an avenue granted by the new bill for private institutions.

“Duke has had a very long history of not permitting weapons on campus,” said See refectory, page 1

Judy Woodruff talks women in workplace

by Emma Baccellieri The Chronicle

Broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff, Women’s College ’68, spoke about the changing role of women in the workplace at the Campus Club Centennial Luncheon Monday.

Woodruff was recently named co-anchor and managing editor of PBS NewsHour, following years of covering politics and national news for CNN, NBC and PBS. She served on the Board of Trustees from 1985 to 1997 and has taught at the Sanford School of Public Policy. Earlier this year,

she was announced as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Charlotte-based Duke Endowment.

“Women today have more choices than they have ever had, more opportunities,” Woodruff said. “At the same time, we recognize the trade-offs to take advantage of those choices haven’t really gotten a whole lot easier.”

Woodruff cited prominent examples of female professional leadership in her speech—such as the recent bipartisan push by Congressional women to end the government shutdown. She noted that al-

though the workplace has become significantly more accepting of women over the past few decades, women in management positions are still the exception and not the rule.

“Women continue to confront a glass ceiling as they get closer and closer to the highest, most powerful jobs,” Woodruff said.

She discussed the challenges she faced as a working mother, recalling how she reported from the White House the day she

Research Triangle Park struggles to attract venture capital

by Sangwon Yun The ChroniCle

research Triangle Park may have trouble attracting venture capital.

The MoneyTree report by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the national Venture Capital Association showed that 402 deals totaling approximately $4.3 billion were made in California during the third quarter of this year, whereas north Carolina had 11 deals, totaling just under $34 million. Despite its notability as a locus of innovation, research and development, a lack of major corporate success, higher risk aversion and an inconvenient location might be barring rTP from access to more venture capital.

“There was a time when there was venture capital here in north Carolina,” said eric Toone, director of the innovation and entrepreneurship initiative. “We had intersouth [Partners]…we had Pappas [Ventures]…But remember, that venture capital has really undergone a retrenchment.” rik Vandevenne, a director at river Cities Capital Fund and Fuqua ’04, noted that the volume of venture funds that could be found 15 years ago simply is no longer available.

“A number of them have failed and aren’t around anymore,” he said. “At one point during the peak of the bubble, north Carolina got about 5 percent of every dollar invested into the iT industry, and today, that’s consistently less than 1 percent.”

Toone said that rTP has not become a hub of investment similar to places like Palo Alto, despite containing the necessary elements.

“Somehow, all of the ingredients should have been here in the Triangle, but somehow, it never became a sum of its parts,” Toone said. “i mean, you’ve got three great universities, research Triangle Park, a spectacular place to live. Why did it never take off?”

SPeCiAl To The ChroniCle

Rik Vandevenne, director at River Cities Capital Fund, said the volume of venture funds have decreased over time.

corporate success in a given area, something that rTP has historically lacked.

“There’s no question that success begets success,” noted Mitch Mumma, a general partner at intersouth Partners and Trinity ’81. “in the long litany of venturebacked companies, all the way back from intel [to] more recent ones like Google, Yahoo and Facebook, [it’s] very telling of a culture of entrepreneurship that principally exists in the Silicon Valley and, to a lesser extent, in Boston and new York City.” even in the scientific industrial companies on which rTP typically focuses, there ‘Success begets success’ has been a lack of major biotech names, According to robert Taber, senior advi- said Taber. sor for global strategies at Duke’s office of “Take Genentech on the West Coast licensing and Ventures, influx of venture [for example],” Taber said. “i mean, half capital has often been attributed to a posi- of the companies that were started out tive feedback-loop that arises from major there were ex-Genentech guys. Same in

Boston with Biogen. here was a real success that people spun out and started other companies. And that hasn’t happened here. We’ve never had a big success.”

The lack of historically successful entrepreneurs in the area may also be deterring high-quality executives from rTP. Art Pappas, founder and managing partner at Pappas Ventures, said that as the San Francisco and Palo Alto area generated many venture start-up companies, they were able to retain many of the executives that were successful from those companies, as well as those that failed. As a result, a natural ecosystem formed that fostered continued entrepreneurship in those locations.

“That continuum drew not only venture capital dollars, but also other entrepreneurs that had been successful while starting other companies and also had the

wherewithal to invest in other start-ups,” Pappas said. “in California, the well known one is when iber-Tech closed down in San Diego, the number of executives who came out of that and stayed and wanted to build companies was significant.”

Pappas noted that a high concentration of entrepreneurs and opportunities creates an environment that makes assuming risk safer. “if...[my] company fails just as an early stage company might, then i have places that i can go…that further fosters and stimulates entrepreneurship,” he said. “it helps mitigate the risk that one takes to either move into that area or leave an existing company to start a new one.” rTP’s lack of this entrepreneurial success may have, therefore, contributed to lower risk tolerance in the area, limiting the distribution of venture capital to north Carolina, said David epstein, chair of the ophthalmology department. he believes Stanford University, as a comparative reference in the Palo Alto area, was a stronger entrepreneurial presence with less risk adversity than Duke. “if Steve Jobs got fired in rTP, i don’t know whether he’d have started another company here,” epstein said.

‘Out of the way’ even the location of rTP may prove to be a deterrent for some venture capitalists, who are often limited in the geographic scope of their investments.

“Venture capitalists aren’t going to fly three time zones unless it’s something unbelievably special, because venture capitalists need their own networks,” Mumma said. “What venture capitalists do to help build value is the mentorship and the connections and all those things that come in addition to money, and particularly for early stage capitalists, [these things] are doable in a finite geography.”

Although investors in ventures still keep rTP on their radar, the location could be preventing the relationship between investor and entrepreneur from developing further, Taber said.

Durham-based marketing company sees user growth

by Shanen Ganapathee The ChroniCle

An online music marketing company in Durham has grown to have more than 3 million users, but Duke’s music scene will not likely be employing it anytime soon. reverbnation, a company that provides online marketing tools for musicians, started in Durham in 2006. Marketing director Shelly Weitz said they started the business in Durham because the location was convenient for the founders and the environment was very conducive to the needs of a startup. Further, four of its founders of the company resided in Durham.

“As Durham has grown and downtown has become more and more vibrant, we’ve settled in even more and truly love our location,” she said. “There are many tech companies in the research Triangle Park. it’s not unusual.” reverbnation was founded by five people as a software startup in response to the advent of iTunes and other online music distribution services and platforms for editing and sharing music such as Garageband and Myspace, Weitz said. now, they have more than 80 employees, 70 percent of which are developers.

“The very large music labels have to change and are still trying to change their model to accommodate a music world where a musician can record, produce and distribute their music themselves, and to a certain extent, communicate with their fans on their own,” Weitz said. even though iTunes and Garageband have changed the dynamics of creating music, Weitz said that independent artists still need help managing their online presence—which

is where reverbnation comes into play, by providing a digital equivalent of a manager.

Most of the 3.1 million artists reverbnation serves are in north America, she said, and many do not have labels. Their audience is primarily between the ages of 18 and 35 and are worldwide. The company provides resources such as email templates and tools to create ad campaigns, as well as driving traffic to their Facebook pages to promote the bands they represent.

“These ads are sophisticated. They are good-looking. We run analytics on them. And they are very affordable for artists. We also provide a really important thing—all of these industry professionals who are looking for the next big artist. They can connect to reverbnation,” she said.

Although the company has vastly expanded its reach since its founding, it may not crack into the Duke music production industry.

Shariq iqbal, studio manager at Small Town records, explained that they will work to establish an online presence, but the platforms that they currently use to distribute the artists’ music are mostly free. reverbnation usually charges artists a fee for their services.

“We try to work with our individual artists on how they want to distribute their music,” iqbal said. “But, generally we use mostly free distribution sites like Soundcloud.”

Junior Christina lan, lead singer of Stina—an all-Duke student band—has been with Small Town records since her freshman year.

Up until now, they have not been using online tools to promote the band’s music. “i’d say right now we are not doing this

Duke research gives insight on sensory information

by Audrey Melville The Chronicle

Researchers have found that the way rodents process sensory information at signaling pathways, previously thought to be linear, is intermixed.

The study was conducted by a number of neurobiology researchers under Fan Wang, associate professor of neurobiology at the School of Medicine. Wang’s lab focuses on neural circuits and sensation processing, examining how rodents respond to their environments. The recent results have disproven a widely accepted idea about how the nervous system relays sensory information—the “labeled line theory.”

The labeled line theory implies that the same type of sensory information is relayed to a specific station within the neural pathway, said postdoctoral researcher Katsuyasu Sakurai, lead researcher of the article published in the October issue of Cell Reports.

The lab has demonstrated that second order neurons receive at least two different kinds of sensory information, neurobiology postdoctoral fellow Jun Takato said. The study reports a “oneto-many and many-to one” connectivity scheme for how tactile information is processed. The researchers found that sensory information is mixed at the first relay station to the brain in the mouse trigeminal system, which closely resembles the sensory system in primates.

Transgenic mice were used in the research because of the ability to genetically label the different types of neurons and visualize the wiring diagram of the whisker touch sensory system, Sakurai said.

“In our study, two different kind of sensory neurons, slowly and rapidly adapting neurons, are tagged with two different genes,” Takato said.

Takato added that the researchers next take thin brain sections and immunostain the tags then analyze the images and examine the overlap of the different fluorescent labels. By visualizing differ-

ent sensory neurons, the group was able to examine whether single second order neurons receive two different kinds of sensory information.

The Nicolelis Lab of the Duke University Medical Center also investigates sensory signaling as an integral part of its neuroprosthetics research. Postdoctoral fellow Eric Thomson, who works in the lab, said that the Nicolelis Lab has found similar results without the same level of molecular and anatomical detail that Sakurai’s paper shows.

“Their study shows that the brain is much more messy, that from very early levels it is mixing different sources of information into a more integrated picture of what is happening in the world,” Thomson said.

The recently published research was supported partially with grants from the National Institutes of Health and has applications for the general public.

Takato said the findings can be applied to the generation of better artificial sensors for people with certain handicaps.

“It would be wonderful if handicapped people can feel what they touch through their prosthetics,” Takato said.

To allow people to touch and feel with artificial limbs, prosthetics would need to be designed with sensors that provide virtual tactile feedback to the brain of the user, Thomson noted.

“Learning about the architecture of the tactile processing system should be very helpful for determining how best to construct such feedback systems,” Thomson said.

Sakurai said the study focuses solely on the organization of two different types of mechano-sensors, but it is not a holistic understanding of the neuronal circuit. There are also other neurons that help facilitate natural tactile behaviors.

“I would like to understand how this kind of tactile information is processed within the neural circuit by manipulating those neurons,” Sakurai said.

our endowment was one of the biggest investors in venture, particularly biomedical ventures,” he said. “And they always said that we were going to set up an office in the Triangle, and they never did because it’s just out of the way.”

The range of flights offered through raleigh/Durham international Airport may present a secondary deterrent to venture capital investment. “rDU used to be a hub,” epstein said.

“You used to be able to fly non-stop everywhere, and that really has contracted. But that to me is proof that rTP has not been catalyzing growth [as it did] before.”

Moving forward Despite its current lack of venture capital, the rTP area’s quality and increasing cost of living has begun to draw start-ups to north Carolina, Mumma said. recently, the research Triangle Foundation has created a strategic plan designed to stimulate entrepreneurial activity in the Park.

“There’s no question, i meet people every week who call and say, ‘i’m moving to the raleigh-Durham area to start a company.’ [So i ask them], ‘Well, why are you doing that?’ And they say, ‘We want to live there. i don’t even know what i’m going to do there, but i want to live there,’” Mumma said. “lots of those people come from the Silicon Valley, lots of the those people come from the northeast.”

Mumma noted that the best way to foster innovation in north Carolina is to simply continue making the area a great place to live, thereby attracting people here.

“Most of the entrepreneurs in our companies got out a map and decided where they wanted to live first, and then started their company, and so that’s the card that

we have to play here,” he said.

Toone also stressed the need for greater collaboration and integration within the region by working with the University of north Carolina at Chapel hill, north Carolina State University and north Carolina Central University, among others. he also suggested collaborating with schools further away, such as Wake Forest University and Virginia Polytechnic institute and State University. “if what we want to do is build out the region, i promise you—i promise you— that nothing i can do that constrained within the walls of Duke is going to move the needle,” Toone said. “Why can’t Wilmington be the country’s next San Diego?...

That’s the scale we have to build this region from for this to be successful.”

Yet in addition to local cultivation, success requires global competition, noted Dr. Barry Myers, professor of biomedical engineering and executive-in-residence with Pappas Ventures.

“Underserved [capital] markets [such as north Carolina] tend to be over-valued when local interests interfere with competition,” Myers said. “over-valuation is a leading cause of new venture failure.

Accordingly, we work locally but engage globally to ensure robust competition and success.”

At Duke, entrepreneurship may likely become a growing presence under the auspices of the innovation and entrepreneurship initiative, currently directed by Toone.

“The role of the university has always been to teach and to innovate,” said lister Delgado, managing partner at iDeA Fund Partners. “Duke excels in innovation, but like other universities, is not designed to purse the commercialization of these innovations.”

Toone said he believes the University ‘s

innovation and entrepreneurship initiative exists in order to complete the latter half of that job. “if the University is the engine of generating new ideas, ‘i and e’ is the transmission and drive train that gets torque to the rear wheels to move the whole thing down the road, that puts those ideas into action,” he said.

Bringing new ideas and innovations to market, however, is only half the story, said Toone.

“For a program like this to be really meaningful to a university, it has to be more than helping people build cell phone apps and things like that … it has to speak to a much larger audience and have a much greater purpose,” he said.

“And i think that the way that we’ve construed it does.”

Despite this, she would not consider reverbnation as a means to promote her music at the moment. “i was more interested in reverbnation a couple of years ago, when i was trying to distribute my music myself, and i think it is a great market for artists to develop a page and be more visible to people,” lan said. “But right now i think it is too saturated with all kinds of artists and it is hard for listeners to find new music.”

ate point for reflection about both the gains women have made and the areas for further progress, Woodruff noted.

“As you celebrate your 100th year, as you think about how this club has evolved and changed and about how the role of women has changed—at Duke, in north Carolina, in the United States and around the globe—we can also think about the challenges that still lie ahead,” Woodruff said.

Brown, Martin earn ACC honors

by Zac Elder THE CHRONICLE

Redshirt junior linebacker Kelby Brown and sophomore kicker Ross Martin both earned ACC Player of the Week honors after their performances against then-No. 16 Virginia Tech Saturday. Both Brown and Martin played integral roles in Duke’s 13-10 win in Blacksburg, Va., where the Blue Devils had never won until Saturday’s matchup.

Brown, who also earned Walter Camp Foundation National Player of the Week honors, racked up 14 tackles and one tackle for loss against Virginia Tech. But Brown’s shining moment came late in the game, with an interception that sealed Duke’s landmark upset.

Down just six points with 5:09 left to play in the fourth quarter, Logan Thomas and the Hokie offense took the field. Starting the drive at its own 44-yard line, Virginia Tech looked poised to score and crush the Blue Devils’ upset hopes.

On the second play of the drive, Thomas dropped back to pass but could not find an open receiver downfield. He tried to dump the ball off underneath the secondary’s coverage, but linebacker David Helton tipped the pass and sent the ball high into the air. Brown jumped up, snatched the ball and came to the

ground, where he was immediately planted by a Virginia Tech offensive lineman. But Brown held on, and Duke would hold the ball for the rest of the game to secure the upset. “[Duke’s linebacking corps] contributed a number of big plays,” Blue Devil head coach David Cutcliffe said.

“Kelby is getting healthier. When you see Kelby playing at full strength, you’re going to see a guy who I think is an All-American football player.”

After a scoreless first quarter, Martin got an opportunity to put Duke on the board early in the second period. The Blue Devils started their second drive of the quarter on their own 45-yard line, but made just one first down before the drive came to a halt. Facing a fourth-and-7 from the Hokies’ 33-yard line, Martin trotted onto the field for a 51-yard attempt. Martin nailed the kick and gave Duke the 3-0 lead.

At the end of the second quarter, Martin would get an opportunity to extend the Blue Devils’ lead. The Duke offense took the field with just 42 seconds left in the half, and moved the ball 37 yards to the Virginia Tech 35-yard line before sending Martin out for another try. With two seconds remaining on the clock, Martin lined up for a 53-yard attempt. As time expired, Martin’s kick sailed through the uprights to give the Blue Devils a 6-0 halftime lead.

Meier twins having early success for Duke

by Ali Wells THE CHRONICLE

Freshmen Hannah and Haley Meier seem to be nearly the same person.

The sisters are identical twins, so they are the same height, have the same dark brown hair and even sound the same. But the most striking similarity is that both have been key runners for Duke this season.

Haley jokes that she likes to play the piano and read while her sister likes to watch TV, but the pair share many of the same interests and feelings about their experience running for the Blue Devils.

“At Duke we don’t have a lot of time to do other things,” Haley said. “It’s either running or school, so we aren’t very different there. But we don’t like all the same things. We just do whatever we feel like. We’re definitely not the same person, but we do have some similarities.”

Originally, the Michigan natives were

not sure that they would attend the same college. While Hannah was leaning towards Duke, Haley was considering Notre Dame. But when they visited Duke together, they had the same reaction.

“We thought at the same time that this school is amazing, and I want to go here,” Hannah said.

“Once we got here, we fell in love with it,” Haley said. “We just had this feeling that this is where we were supposed to be and where we could really see ourselves.

It has turned out to be incredible, and we really love it here.”

The Meier sisters boast an impressive combined high school resume.

As an 11-time Michigan state champion—with repeat titles in the 800-meter and 1,600-meter races—and eight-time national champion, Hannah earned six All-America honors in her four years at See CROSS COUNTRY, page 13

Linebacker Kelby Brown (left) and kicker Ross Martin (right) each earned ACC Player of the Week honors after Duke’s upset victory against Virginia Tech.

Martin is the only player in the nation this year to knock down two kicks of 50-plus yards in one game, earning him ACC Player of the Week honors.

“The other day I tested him on one, and he was able to hit a 59-yarder with

room to spare,” Cutcliffe said. “We’ve put him under pressure in practice and he responded in practice. That’s one of the reasons I went ahead and attempted the first kick, was I felt good about him making it. He didn’t disappoint, that’s for sure.”

How did it get so late so soon?

In a rare moment this weekend, I felt relatively old. Obviously I’m not old (relative is the operative word), just old in the way that when you’re a freshman in college and go back to visit your high school and think, “Wait, these kids are in high school? They’re so little!

I never dressed like that when I was that age!”

I’m not sure there’s a right way to measure the passage of time. Some cultures use the sun. Others use the moon.

The story behind Duke’s votes in the AP Poll

by Daniel Carp The ChroniCle

Following Duke’s 13-10 upset victory on the road against No. 16 Virginia Tech, the Blue Devils received two votes in this week’s Associated Press top 25 poll. One of the two media members who voted for Duke was Tom Murphy, who covers Arkansas football for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock, Ark. Murphy discussed with The Chronicle’s Daniel Carp why he had the Blue Devils in his top 25 this week.

The Chronicle: You were one of two AP voters who put Duke in their top 25. explain to me why you did it.

Tom Murphy: i have a great respect for David Cutcliffe. i got to watch a bit of the Virginia Tech game and they put some pressure on logan Thomas, forcing a lot of turnovers. it was an impressive performance. i look at the teams that are kind of in the range there right now and i see both of the Arizona teams, notre Dame, teams of that magnitude and i just felt like the ACC is having a pretty good year and Duke warranted a vote there.

TC: looking inside the mind of an AP voter, how much had you seen of Duke this season and what portion of your vote was based off last week’s game at Virginia Tech?

TM: Before i vote, i go back and look at everybody’s result. i saw that they lost to Georgia Tech and Pitt—in a pretty

high scoring game against Pitt. i had not watched a lot of them, but it was an impressive road win on Saturday. After their open date in a couple weeks they will have Miami. if they can win a couple of games maybe they can solidify where i have them at this point.

TC: Was any part of you surprised that given the magnitude of this win, considering how long it had been since Duke had beaten a ranked opponent on the road, that more voters didn’t join in and slide the Blue Devils into that 25th spot?

TM: not really. There’s a ton of teams in that range. if you just examine it and you do this week by week, you’ll see that there are a ton of teams there on the cusp getting votes. i happened to watch the game and liked what i saw. i’ll say this, if they don’t get some better offensive numbers they aren’t going to last long in the top 25.

TC: Were you at all surprised to see most people still had Virginia Tech ranked ahead of Duke even though the Blue Devils won that game?

TM: i can’t get into the minds of the other voters. really when you start getting into the head-to-head part, it gets really complicated. Take a team like South Carolina, who they’ve beaten, i’m sure Missouri is still ahead of them in a lot of polls. There is a direct head-to-head result and i certainly had Duke ahead of Virginia Tech.

TC: having followed what David Cutcliffe has been able to do at Duke now in his six years, can you explain from an outside perspective what you think this win means for Duke football nationally?

TM: i’m aware of some of Duke’s great history from the ‘50s and the Steve Spurrier era, but i just have great respect for David Cutcliffe. he’s got a good program there.

TC: Do you think after this type of win people around the country are going to start paying more attention to this team?

TM: Possibly so. open date, [n.C.

sports

State] and Miami. That’s going to be their big chance.

TC: Since they have an open date, i’m not sure how you normally approach that from a voting standpoint, but is there a way they can drop out of your top 25 without playing this weekend?

TM: Certainly. The teams i had in consideration—i remember Arizona State was one, i thought about notre Dame and Texas, a couple of three-loss SeC teams like ole Miss—if one of those teams really blows somebody’s doors off, sure Duke can drop out.

thanh-ha nguyen/The ChroniCle

Tom Murphy, who voted for Duke this week in the AP Poll, said the Blue Devils’ offensive execution will need to improve should they hope to stay in his top 25.

of pedigree is something that has the Blue Devils hoping he can help them hang a fifth banners in the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium this season.

Game breakdown: Simply, this kid can do it all.

Touted on the cover of Sports Illustrated as the greatest high school basketball player since LeBron James, Parker begins his collegiate career at Duke with nothing short of the highest expectations— and he has the game to match. His versatility at 6-foot-8 and 235 pounds is astounding. Parker is an adept ball-handler, can create off of the dribble, knock it down from long range and post you up. Parker will also tell you that he is in the best shape of his life, and his conditioning continues to improve after a foot injury left him sidelined for a good portion of his final season of high school basketball.

His skills transcend the offensive end, Parker filled up the statsheet in Duke’s first exhibition contest against Bowie State, piling up five assists, four rebounds, four steals and three blocks to go along with his 16 points. On a team without a true center, Parker’s ability to rebound and block shots could be his greatest asset this season.

But what should really get Duke fans excited about Parker is that he is a proven winner.

Playing in the high school basketball Mecca of Chicago, Parker led his Simeon Career Academy squad to an unprecedented four state championships in his four-year career—Parker finished with a career record of 118-15. That type

Role on the team: There is very little question that Parker will be a starter for Duke’s season-opener against Davidson Nov. 8. The freshman forward will play a crucial role for the Blue Devils this season, combining with redshirt sophomore Rodney Hood and sophomore Amile Jefferson to form what could be one of the most versatile and athletic frontcourts in the nation. The combination of Parker’s physical attributes and skill set makes him the most versatile of the three, so expect to see him in a variety of different roles depending on opposing matchups, especially on the defensive end.

NBA comparison: Although Parker did receive a comparison to James on his Sports Illustrated cover, his closest NBA comparison is Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks. Just like Melo, Parker possesses an innate scoring ability but does not need to overpower you at the rim to be effective. The touch on his jumper, especially in the midrange, will be one of his biggest weapons this season. Parker’s ability to create off the dribble, play with his back to the basket and work effectively in the pick and roll game definitely exudes shades of Anthony—who by the way, led Syracuse to a national championship when he was a freshman.

Projected stat line: 18.0 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 3.0 APG, 1.5 SPG

Matt Jones

395A

• • • •

Year: Freshman Height: 6-foot-4 Position: Guard Last year’s key statistics: N/A

Game breakdown: Jones comes to Duke in the shadow of his fellow freshman Jabari Parker—a guy who was deemed one of the Blue Devil’s go-to guys before playing a minute of collegiate basketball. The No. 36 recruit in the nation according to ESPN, Jones was billed as a 3-point specialist. With decent size and a knack for the catch-and-shoot, Jones has drawn comparisons to a young Ray Allen—the NBA’s all-time leader in made 3-point shots.

Despite being billed as a one-trick pony, Jones has come to campus this season and impressed the coaching staff with the other aspects of his game. His skill that has generated the most buzz isn’t his 3-point touch, but rather his defensive ability. Everyone from head coach Mike Krzyzewski to captain Tyler Thornton has lauded the freshman for his defense, which Jones attributes to his coach at DeSoto High School in Texas. The other skill Jones has that wasn’t expected upon his arrival at Duke was his ball-handling. Tabbed as a true shooting guard in high school, with an improved dribble Jones may end up being more of a combo-guard for the Blue Devils.

Role on the team: Jones’ role this season is very much in doubt. He’s shown definitively through the offseason and the first exhibition game that he is ready to play today. The only issue is that Duke already has a very crowded backcourt with returners Thornton, Quinn Cook, Rasheed Sulaimon and Andre Dawkins deserving of minutes. Where Jones can help the Blue Devils right away is by providing the 3-point shooting of Dawkins without the defensive lapses Dawkins occasionally had over his first three seasons with Duke. With fouls expected to be a bigger part of the college basketball game thanks to the new hand check rules, Jones could soak up minutes at both guard spots should the veterans find themselves in foul trouble.

NBA comparison: Jones may well develop into a Ray Allen-esque 3-point shooter, but that’s not who he’ll be as a freshman. Instead, Jones may play a role more akin to that of Willie Green. For those of you wondering who Willie Green is, he’s the glue-guy shooting guard for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Green is an adept 3-point shooter—42.8 percent from beyond the arc last season—and provides above average defense. It’s not a sexy comparison, but is is the type of player Duke may need this season.

Projected stat line: 4.5 PPG, 1.0 APG, 1.0 RPG, 10.0 MPG

CROSS COUNTRY from page 9 Grosse Point South High School. She was also named the Michigan Track and Field Athlete of the Year by ESPN in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and Miss Track & Field for the State of Michigan in 2013.

Haley shares state championship titles with her sister from the 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter relays. She was runner-up in the mile at the state championships all four years in high school. She received three All-America honors and was ranked among the top high school distance runners throughout her high school career.

Their interests diverge some academically, despite the fact that they are taking three of the same classes this semester. Hannah said that she is undecided about future areas of study, but the time Haley has spent tutoring at a local elementary school has solidified her interest in education.

“I’ve really enjoyed the experience,” Haley said. “I really enjoy spending time with little kids and helping them learn new things.”

Haley does have a talent for connecting with young kids, her sister said.

“Little kids love her, and I feel like they don’t like me as much as they like her,” Hannah said.

The sisters agree that their best experience at Duke has been training and competing with the Blue Devils and head coach Kevin Jermyn.

Even with doubled mileage and much stronger competition, the girls on the team made the Meier sisters feel at home at Duke fromsudoku_395A the start of training.

“Our team has been incredibly supportive,” Haley said. “They’ve been guiding us through step-by-step. If we were normal students coming here, we wouldn’t have that with people who care so much about us already.”

From their first race as Blue Devils at the Adidas Challenge in September, the sisters established themselves as Duke’s third and fourth scoring runners. Hannah finished seconds ahead of Haley in the 5,000-meter race at the Adidas Challenge, and Haley finished ahead of her sister in the siblings’ first 6,000-meter race at the Wisconsin Invitational.

The pair hopes to continue to make a positive impact on the team’s score at the ACC Championships in Kernersville, N.C., this weekend, but both are nervous to run in only their second 6,000-meter race.

“I’m hoping I can do better at this meet than last meet,” Hannah said about the Wisconsin Invitational. “I was just getting off of a sickness, and I was way back there. I’m nervous but excited at the same time. I think our team can do really well.”

Haley said she is nervously optimistic about the race. Despite her jam-packed high school resume, she does not have as much race experience as some of her freshman teammates after being hampered by injury and illness throughout her final two years of high school competition.

“I’m not sure how this is going to go, but I’m going to absolutely try my hardest,” she said. “I’m just excited to be back and healthy and to score some points for our team.”

The Chronicle

“

Walking and talking Charles Murray’s visit to campus was not going to be a dull one. Known for his controversial research on race, class and intelligence, his visits stir up controversy on college campuses nationwide. Duke is no different. Students for a Democratic Society and allies staged a silent walkout at the start of his talk.

Being the exceptionally politically correct campus that we are, this planned walkout was met with overwhelming judgments about whether or not it should have happened.

Perhaps, however, we should not be so quick to make normative conclusions.

Most acknowledge that yes, the American Enterprise Institute has a right to bring Murray to campus.

Yes, students have a right to listen. And lastly, yes, students have the right to walk out.

But what does it mean to walk out?

For activists, walking out is a statement. If we sit and listen, it means that we think what Murray is saying is valuable enough to share.

We are saying that his claims may perpetuate, as some opponents maintain, the exploitation of human beings, but also that we may gain

I think the implication is that party groups or activism groups shouldn’t be tied to a particular candidate. I.e., Duke College Republicans or a general activism group could advocate for Romney, but a group in his name is, understandably, unsustainable.

Editorial that we refuse to consider Murray’s conclusions a matter of debate, and choose instead to protest.

For those who prefer dialogue, however, walking out may rob us of the opportunity to engage with what the speaker has to say. The best counter-arguments come from listening first. By refusing to acknowledge the opposing view, we eliminate opportunities for intellectual engagement.

We cannot condemn either approach— engaging or protesting—just because it stems from goals different than our own. Normative arguments about particular actions have to be contextualized in terms of the goals of those performing the action.

I

t is by now no secret that the federal government’s rollout of its online health insurance exchange market—one of the key provisions of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act—has been nothing short of a total disaster. Pundits initially diagnosed the problem as high demand leading to heavy web traffic.

The fact that visits to the site have dropped 88 percent and it remains inoperable, however, suggests that the problems are largely structural.

Opponents of the ACA have unsurprisingly seized on the glitches as examples of the government’s ineptitude. “The very people who claim they are sufficiently competent to run health care, which constitutes about one-sixth of the nation’s economy,” argues Cal Thomas of FoxNews.com, “can’t manage to launch a workable website, even though they had at least three years to set it up.” Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas is even calling for the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, on grounds of “gross incompetence.” But people like Thomas and Sen. Roberts, who believe the glitches mark the downfall of the ACA, are likely to find themselves disappointed when such a future fails to materialize.

Now, the glitches are definitely a problem with the ACA. They are not, however, the only problem, and in the eyes of the law’s opponents they are probably not even the biggest one. On top of that, they are probably going to be fixed. After all, it seems highly unlikely that President Obama will allow something like a substandard rollout to entirely undo his signature piece of legislation. In light of all that, those who oppose the ACA might consider refocusing their criticisms on areas of lasting, structural concern.

Take, for example, the effect that certain stipulations of the health care reforms are likely to have on prices within the medical environment. I’ve written about the importance of prices before, albeit within a different context, but in any case we should strive to understand them as more than just arbitrary sums that sellers set to fatten their wallets. They are supposed to work as signals that reflect important information concerning the state of resources as well as the nature of consumer preferences within the economy. As many citizens are well aware, however, prices within the health care system are already woefully detached from reality. Stan Liebowitz of the Cato Institute argues that this is caused by our insurance-based third-party payment system. “The major culprit,” he says, “is…the removal of the patient as a major participant in the financial and medical choices that are currently being made by others in the name of the patient.” By reinforcing this structure, the ACA might further cement a mechanism that could contribute to rising costs. Furthermore, its community rating and guaranteed issue provisions, although they are noble in intent, could also have negative consequences for controlling costs and effectively allocating scarce resources.

We are saying that we trust in the assumed legitimacy of his empirical data and methodology, and we will legitimize it further by listening to him.

If we choose to walk out, however, it means

In order to achieve our intellectual goals, we use certain methods, and, in order to achieve our activist goals, we use other methods. It may not be courteous to walk out on an intellectual discussion, but when have activist movements ever been polite? Let us not denounce people’s goals simply because they do not align with ours.

At the same time, we encourage the clashing of ideas. If the advocates of dialogue and the advocates of protest share the same ultimate goal of racial and class equity, they should work to create a culture of productive discourse.

The discussion did not have to happen at the event, but it can happen after. The walkout at the very least rendered the disagreement on campus visible. We now know that people feel strongly about this issue, and we should now ask ourselves: what are we going to do about it? We can let the controversy fade by the end of the week, or we can use this to further discussion.

Bring another speaker with an opposing view. Organize a roundtable discussion. For advocates of dialogue and protest alike, discourse can prove only to be beneficial.

Chris Bassil human action cism of centrally planned medical systems. “Medicine has specific problems in itself in that there can be no planning for discovery,” the two explain. “A planner of 20 years ago…would have included…a large number of beds for the tuberculous, and such provision would have seemed rational and necessary. However, the discovery of chemotherapeutic agents, led by streptomycin, has virtually emptied our chest sanatoria.” The point that Lynch and Raphael are making is that a planned medical system, which prepares for the future through bureaucratic forecasting rather than capital markets and the price system, may be more susceptible to certain kinds of errors than its more spontaneous capitalist counterparts.

The planned system also suffers from a consequent rigidity that could make adjusting to unforeseen developments such as medical discoveries more difficult than it might be under a decentralized system. “The chance discovery of an agent, made by anyone in scores of intellectual disciplines related or unrelated to medicine,” write Lynch and Raphael in conclusion, “might well negate years of otherwise rational medical planning.” The ACA itself obviously does not provide for a centrally planned medical system, but any potential to further undermine the price system within the American health care system could eventually lead us to suffer some of the same shortcomings.

A supporter of the ACA might object to the arguments presented here for political, economic or even moral reasons. They might argue that the issues with centrally planned medical systems are irrelevant to the ACA, that repealing the ACA will not solve the problems with the existing third-party payment structure or even that our moral obligations to provide health care to all Americans far outweigh any economic inefficiencies that we would accept in exchange. All of these are valid rejoinders and are open for debate. The point here, though, is simply that opponents of the ACA would do well to focus their efforts on what they perceive to be the long-lasting medical and economic implications of the reform, rather than on the ephemeral issues with the online exchange glitches.

The kids in the stands

W

e were finishing our pregame warm-up last week before our match at the University of Virginia when one of my teammates’ parents arrived at the turf. A few last shots on goal, a few run-throughs of some set-piece plays and then it happened—she ran to the sidelines and embraced them after being away from her home in the United Kingdom since June.

As the sherbet-colored sun set in a brisk Charlottesville sky, I knew the feelings on the side of that field in that moment. Eyes welled with humid emotion, all I could think about was the next time I’d see my parents— whenever that’d be.

Life as a college athlete has been rich with experience—to the extent that 21 years of age can allow.

I have been spun around and dizzied with sentiment, emotion and rage. I have been pushed and bruised and ripped up. I have been lifted up higher than words can describe, and I have never been so thankful for anything more than I am for my parents’ support through the ebbs and flows of this irrational, incredible, inimitable experience.

Mom and Dad, I know you’re reading this. For everyone else, I trust you share this sentiment indelibly in some strain, so please, read on, and thank your parents for what they do, too.

I have put my parents through emotional turbulence in the last four years, mostly because parents who love their children so unbelievably, so overpoweringly, so fervently—these parents live the emotions that their children live.

When I watched my teammate embrace her parents, one arm slung around each of their necks, bundled with scarves and jackets in the Virginia cold, I knew exactly what she felt in that moment, and I am thankful for the reminder that she gave me.

Mom and Dad, I’m sorry for going to school so far away from home. Mom and Dad, I’m sorry I’ve lost my phone more times than I can count. Mom and Dad, I’m sorry for the nose ring, I’m sorry for the tattoo, I’m sorry for the time Dan and I broke the vase in the living room when you were out to dinner. But most of all, Mom and Dad, I’m sorry there’s no physical, verbal, conceivable way to thank you. For everything.

People talk a lot about taking things for granted and the opportunities they’ve missed out on. People talk about other people. People talk about the things they wish they’d done, the things they wish they could do, the things they want to be. I’d be a fool to think my parents didn’t want for me the same opportunities that I swiftly chase down. They’ve always wanted me to play. So I’ve played. They’ve always wanted me to win. With them, I have won. I have won, and I cannot ever imagine an appropriate way to repay them.

When I was a sophomore in high school, I lost a field hockey game to a conference rival in overtime. I made a mistake—a game-changing mistake—and knew it immediately. We lost, and I harshly threw my gloves to the ground in an immediate fury.

I still remember this game—an October match at Ocean Township High School—not for the loss. I remember it for the conversation I had with my dad when I got home that night. He told me about character and how without high character, you can be the best athlete

in the world and won’t get any respect from anyone. You might sweep your matches or pitch a perfect game or score a hundred touchdowns. You might be the best of what’s around, but you’re going to fail sometimes, too.

And when you fail, my dad said, you have to do it with your eyes up.

He told me that I needed to be like Joe DiMaggio.

I needed to be a class act. He said Joltin’ Joe was that kind of class act.

“There’s always some kid who may be seeing me play for the first time or the last time. I owe him my best,” DiMaggio once said. My dad told me this some six years ago, but these words burn brighter than ever before.

This Saturday is Senior Day for Duke Field Hockey— our last home game, our last regular season match. The last match I’ll ever play at Duke—my new home, the home I’ll be leaving in seven months, likely for good.

And this weekend—this Saturday at 1:00 p.m.—there’s gonna be some kids who might be seeing me play for the last time. Those kids are you, Mom and Dad. I’m no Joe DiMaggio, Mom and Dad, but you’ve always treated me like I am. On Saturday, you’re the kids in the stands that I owe my best. The kids who are seeing me play for the last time. An incredible 17 years have passed where I’ve been on some kind of sports team—hitting balls off a tee at the little league fields in a Pirates uniform at the South Wall Little League fields, fouling out of biddy basketball games, playing Division I field hockey. Seventeen years, and you’re rooting for me still.

You’re the kids I’m playing for, and you always have been. I’m playing for you for the last time—but I’ll always be on your team.

Letter to the Editor logistics, my comments were taken out of context. I had noted to the author the challenge of the initial transition from the old to the new building. As an example, I mentioned that I did not know the location of warm blankets in the new hospital. My aim was not to decry the re-orientation that we received for the new building but to note something I missed, which Mr. Phillip Shoe gladly helped me address.

I, in my two years with DCPSP, have never felt undertrained. Having read the article that was published by The Chronicle, I cannot help but feel hurt for our patients, families and staff who read it and lost trust in the competence of our care. It is the aim of DCPSP to provide the best possible services to patients and their families, through well-trained volunteers that are happy to provide support in any way possible.

Response to “Duke Cancer Institute Volunteers concerned about training” My name is Lloyd Zhao, and I was quoted in the recent article, “Duke Cancer Institute Volunteers concerned about training.” I want to begin by offering my sincere apologies to anyone affected by comments in the article. I would, however, like to make clear how I—and the vast majority of Duke Cancer volunteers—feel about training and the role we play in patients’ lives. My comments, originally presented to the interviewer in a broader context of challenges faced in a hospital setting, were meant to illustrate the variety of situations that we, as volunteers, encounter.

To have been quoted as demanding of training for all social settings is absurd. No program can do that. Furthermore, I emphasized in my interview the great resource that Mr. Phillip Shoe, the coordinator of the Duke Cancer Patient Support Program, can be and has been in these situations.

When again quoted discussing my struggles with certain

fun, socially constructive and financially lucrative. You’ll make friends, solve social problems, build a resume and become incredibly, unspeakably rich. There’s no down side: no drudge work, no stupid boss making your life miserable on your pathway to receiving that big check.

The ads say nothing about assignments, problem sets, lab reports, research papers, lectures and other annoying entanglements of college life. They feature, in an enormous font, dollar signs and numbers with lots of zeroes. In one ad, the headline blares out: “$10,000 GRAND PRIZE.” The actual content of the competition is presented in a much smaller font, white letters on a black background, and is hard to grasp, even after you have made out the words.

Astoundingly, it turns out, whatever you have to do to get the money seems to have something to do with the humanities.

We in the business know that the humanities generally appear only rarely in the same sentence with numbers of any kind, much less numbers with dollar signs, zeroes and commas (unless the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services is involved). I get all STEAMy just thinking about it. Students, including my precious Tolstoy fans, who want to get their hands on the $10,000 are encouraged to attend an information session in one of our showpiece technology labs, where they will learn the rules of the game. Can it really be that studying literature can earn them thousands of dollars? I hope they come back and tell me. I have to admit, though, I’m a little concerned that the efforts required may distract them from such trivialities as attending class. And, OMG, we’re reading “Anna Karenina.” I hope they get to it. For some people, it’s the greatest novel of all time, food for the soul, a life-changing experience. Though reading it does take time. $10,000 is a lot of money, and if they let faculty get involved, I’m in. But frankly, if I were in my students’ position, I’d drop everything and go for the big bucks. “WIN $50,000!” shrieks another ad. All you have to do is: “Find a problem to solve. Come up with a solution. Write it up.”

Seems pretty easy. Let’s try! Here’s a problem: Let’s say, through merit, intrinsic talent and hard work you get into a prestigious university. But when you arrive, you realize that what you are expected to do during your time in college is not immerse yourself in the life of the mind, but rather to start a business, save the world, accumulate credentials, grades and useful contacts, then use them to hightail it on down the road. So the problem is: Why did you pay all that money to come to college, when the real point is not to be there? You can make so much more money by starting your own business! Why are you in college?

Let’s take a stab at a solution: Whenever I buy gas, I go into the convenience store and spring for a Powerball ticket.

I stand by my car and gaze at the magic row of numbers.

The jackpot this time is $203 million. While I wait for the tank to fill, I dream, as Dostoevsky did while waiting for the roulette wheel to stop spinning, each time. Guess what? My number comes up! I’m a mega-gazillionaire!! I’ll pay off the mortgage, I’ll eat better, fix the bike, have mocha lattes every day, buy a pony. I’ll get season tickets, maybe take some trips. I’ll set up my kids for life. I’ll treat the neighbors.

I’ll give money to my friends. I’ll be famous! I’ll indulge in innovation, interdisciplinarity, sustainability, the greater social good, teamwork, ideas and innovative solutions to real-world issues. I’ll cure cancer! I’ll help the poor! I’ll have #$%&@-loads and #$%&@-loads and #$%&@-loads of money. I’ll be happy.

The numbers flip round and round. The nozzle clicks loudly. The tank is full. Chances are, I will not win the lottery. Again. It’s back to Perkins, fourth floor, PG 3466.

My friends are there, along with my teachers, waiting.
