ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 2

Racial profiling by city police force under review

Durham residents voice concerns about racial profiling by city police Rachel Chason University Editor Amid national conversations surrounding racial profiling, Durham City Council opened discussion on the prevalence of the issue locally at their meeting Thursday.

Law enforcement officials, Durham residents and advocacy groups gathered Thursday before City Council to discuss the racial profiling and misconduct in Durham’s police department.

Black males account for 17.4 percent of Durham’s population, but they make up more than 65 percent of the population stopped and searched by police, according to a report by the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.

And a black motorist is more than 100 percent more likely to be asked for See Council on Page 6

At Convocation, freshmen told to push outside comfort zones Georgia Parke Executive Digital Editor More than 1,700 freshmen filled Duke Chapel at Wednesday’s Convocation ceremony, listening to speeches about seeking out their purpose at Duke and finding ways to make the campus home.

President Richard Brodhead told the incoming students that they should feel confident in believing they will thrive at Duke, but warned them not to let the comfort of security get in the way of branching out or pursuing lofty goals.

“There are values that are not compatible with comfort, and those include values crucial to the adventure you’re about to undertake,” Brodhead said. “You could court everything that challenges you… Then you’d have four years of growth and empowerment—a big return for having been willing to risk some small initial discomfort.”

Before he bestowed his advice on the newest undergraduates, Brodhead addressed the student’s parents, who were watching a live stream of the event in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“Go home, back off,” he told them, evoking surprised laughter from the crowd. “Give them space to build an independent life.”

Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag opened his speech by asking the students to take a moment to look at what Brodhead called the “community of talent in a thousand different forms” around them by introducing themselves to their neighbors in the chapel pews. He waited as the room filled with chatter and handshakes for half a minute before resuming.

“Savor your classmates, your community,” he said.

“Take advantage of that in the coming years.”

The Class of 2018 comes from the largest and most competitive applicant pool Duke has received, Guttentag said, with an acceptance rate of 10.8 percent out of 32,453 early and regular decision applicants. Students hail from 48 states and 47 countries, and for the first time, more than half of the class is composed of students of color.

Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education, encouraged the students to use their time as undergraduates to pin down their true purpose for being at Duke.

“You chose to come to Duke, but why did you make that choice?” Nowicki asked. “Why are you here?”

Duke Student Government President Lavanya Sunder, a junior, followed a similar theme with her remarks to close out the ceremony, wishing the class well as they attempt to fit in and make their place at Duke.

“I hope everyone here finds their way home,” she said.

Ninth Street affected by various commercial changes

Recent influx of new businesses and construction worries local shop owners Jenna Zhang Local & National Editor

Durham’s Ninth Street is encountering changes— and challenges—in the face of recent development on the west side of the street.

Ninth Street has been traditionally known for its eclectic, locally-owned businesses. On the east side of the street reside independent businesses beloved by locals and students alike. The west side of the street, however, is reflective of a very different trend—boasting the new construction of a drive-through bank f rents on this side of and the large chain the street become too stores like Harris Teeter and Panera high that locally-owned Bread. businesses can’t afford The rapid influx them, that’ll be a problem. of new businesses and construction have — Tom Campbell projects brought in more customers, but also pushed rents higher and led to parking restrictions, which local shop owners worry are bad for business.

Parking woes Increased traffic has led to new parking fees and regulations, a persisting source of frustration for Ninth Street’s independent vendors. A 46-space lot on the west side adjacent to the Erwin Mill shops now charges $1 per hour for parking, and a two-hour limit has been placed on on-street parking. The new regulations disproportionately affect small businesses on Ninth Street that rely on on-street parking for both their customers and employees, said Francesca’s Dessert Café owner Jalil Belmouloud. He added that his business has suffered since the implementation of the parking

Additionally, it is not uncommon for ten hours on the street significantly limit the number of businesses to include parking fees as part of their fixed cost, he added.

WHAT WE’LL DO ABOUT IT: Promote, recognize, and reward both chivalrous behavior and deeper more respectful relationships across campus.

WHY WE’RE DOING IT: People complain about social culture at Duke, but either no one does anything about it,or if they have, it hasn’t worked. We’re going to change that through society events, education, recognition of chivalrous and respectful actions across campus, and by rewarding select individuals for being role models of what we believe in.

HOW WE’LL DO IT: Discuss our values and create a community of Duke Students who believe: • We will choose the harder right over the easier wrong • We will be strong enough to be guided by our hearts and heads, not by the whims of, nor for the acceptance of those around us • We will be the men and women that would make our families proud • We will provide aid to, rather than take advantage of, those in need of help • We will follow the Diamond Rule of treating ourselves as we want others to treat us • We will make deposits in peoples’ emotional bank accounts and not expect anything in return • We believe that the reward for a job well done is to have done it • We know our reputations are built through many interactions but can be ruined by one • We know that we are free to choose our actions but not to choose our consequences • We know that we can’t talk our way out of what we’ve behaved ourselves into • We know that being faithful in love and loyal in friendship can lead us to happiness.

East Campus benches removed due to size restrictions

on West and Central campuses, many more groups of residents have formed—opening opportunities Executive Digital Editor for a greater number of benches to be built that the campuses would not have enough room for, said Dean The Class of 2018 arrived on East Campus missing a for Residential Life Joe Gonzalez. traditional component of the campus landscape: house “When we transitioned to Duke Houses, the benches. sentiment was we couldn’t have that many big benches,” All of the large, student-made benches on East were Gonzalez said. “The potential number of benches... removed in July following a reduction in the maximum changed dramatically and with that increase, the only bench size by Housing, Dining and Residence Life way to maintain the transition was to reduce the sizes of the bench.”

Whereas the potential number of benches used to be around 20, under the new model the number is closer to 50, he said.

Gonzalez explained that the decision to change the guidelines was made after consulting with Duke Student Government in Spring 2012, and the new dimensions were made final in December 2012. All housing sections on West and Central with a “big bench” had to remove their benches in Spring 2013. The East benches were allowed to stay an additional year, up until this past summer.

The bench requirements are consistent across all three campuses, but East Campus was otherwise unaffected by the new housing model.

The new maximum dimensions for benches are 8 feet in length, 5 feet in height from the ground and 6 feet in depth, according to the 2014-15 Duke Community Standard in Practice manual. This is a 4-foot reduction in the maximum length Chronicle File Photo allowed, as the outdated dimensions East Campus benches, such as the one at Giles Residence Hall pictured above, were removed following a reduction in the maximum bench size by HDRL administrators.

All of the benches were in violation because they were built under the more liberal size requirements set in 2003.

The need for smaller bench requirements is a result of the larger changes made to the housing model in the past few years. With the new arrangement of houses

Nancy Wilson, another Durham resident, said the mistreatment of black men by police is a national issue, noting that some studies have estimated that a black man is killed by police every 28 hours.

“We can’t expect our black men to lead families when they are being broken and oppressed on a daily basis by the people that are supposed to protect them,” Wilson said. “These men and women need to tell their stories, and be a part of the solution.”

continued from page 1 Four of the five will be completed in the coming weeks, administrators say.

“The atmosphere here in Kunshan is very positive,” Nora Bynum, vice provost for DKU and China initiatives, wrote in an email Thursday. “The students are an amazing mix of talents and aspirations for their time here—in my interactions with them they often mention the small class size, the variety of topics across the natural and social sciences and the humanities, the presence of senior faculty from Duke and the opportunity to learn from their peers.”

The campus is currently home to a semester-long undergraduate program in addition to graduate programs in medical physics and global health.

DKU will also be home to a Master’s of Management Studies program, though students are currently in Durham. They will travel to Kunshan for classes beginning in January.

When DKU was announced, many expected it to be the first legally independent American university approved by the Chinese government. But construction delays and management issues meant that the title went instead to New York University’s Shanghai campus, which opened Fall 2013.

The concept of a campus in China was first presented to Academic Council in November 2009. Pushed by Fuqua as an opportunity to expand abroad, DKU was initially set to open in Fall 2011, offering the MMS degree and enhanced programming for the Global Executive MBA. The University’s conversations about the campus grew beyond Fuqua, and in January 2010, Duke entered into an agreement with the city of Kunshan, securing 200 acres for the DKU campus, with the local municipal government signing on to manage and fund construction. President Richard Brodhead traveled to Kunshan that month to announce an academic partnership with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, which is consistently ranked as one of the top five universities in China. Crews broke ground on construction that September, with administrators saying they expected the campus to be finished in time to welcome students in Fall 2012.

But issues began to surface with the SJTU partnership, and by Fall 2010, Duke was looking for a new Chinese partner.

Back in Durham, meanwhile, several members of the faculty expressed concerns about the project. The question of academic freedom in China came into play, while others wondered whether the campus would dilute the University’s brand or divert significant resources away from the Durham campus.

In February 2011, Duke signed an agreement with Wuhan University. With a partner secured, Duke began pursuing government approval for the campus. But that

Fall, administrators announced that DKU’s opening had been pushed back to Spring 2013 due to construction delays from poor weather. Issues with construction and funding persisted, and work on the campus came to a near stop in 2012.

In September 2012, Duke administrators maintained that the campus would open in time for the following school year, with five of the DKU’s six buildings set for completion in July 2013. But a few months later, the opening date was pushed back once again: this time to Fall 2014, when five of the six buildings would be complete.

“From [the Ministry of Education] application to campus construction, each task is a challenging one and wouldn’t have been done without so many people’s hard effort and deep belief in this project,” Wang wrote.

Although construction is not finished and DKU continues to hire staff, the doors have opened and classes are set to begin—moving into the next stage of the campus’s journey.

“After so much work over so much time by so many people here at DKU and at Duke University, it was gratifying Chronicle File Photo to see faculty students and staff united in celebrating the DKU’s campus, pictured above, will include six buildings opening of DKU,” Bynum wrote of the Convocation. upon completion, which is expected in the coming weeks.

were 12 feet in length, 5 feet in height and 6 feet in depth, according to the 2012-13 handbook.

“We had to look at how we can maintain this transition,” Gonzalez said.

“We didn’t want to lose them because we know it’s important to the Duke students.”

All benches on West and Central campuses are now considered the new dimensions, Gonzalez said.

Dorms on East Campus will be able to rebuild their benches this year, as long as the structures meet the new requirements.

DSG is also working to make the bench-building process easier for houses.

Sophomore Zachary Gorwitz, vice president for residential life, said that the committee has been working on a plan to make pre-made benches or benchbuilding kits for houses to use, especially independent houses needing to form a sense of community.

Gorwitz did not know that the benches were being removed from East until he arrived on campus this year, but still hopes to pursue the bench-making kit under the new requirements.

“They’re so emblematic of Duke and the community that we’re trying to build here,” he said.

spaces left for customers.

An agreement between the city and the developer of Ninth Street’s west side necessitates the new parking fee on the 46-space lot, Schewel said. The developer, which owns the property on which the parking lot resides, rents the space to the city for a price, paid in part by taxpayers and in part by the parking revenues.

Paid parking was likely “inevitable,” said Amy Campbell, former director of Durham’s independent business alliance Sustain-A-Bull. “[You see] somebody going up and down Ninth Street ticketing people,” she said. “Every time there’s a change like that, especially if you’re used to being able to park for free, it takes some time.”

“I certainly understand from a business perspective why some of the landlords are raising their rents,” Green said. “I think the downside of that is we lose some of the really charming places like Charlie’s. We do lose a little, and I call it ‘sense of place.’”

Raising the rent The new developments on the west side have brought in increasingly large numbers of people since the recession, said Tom Campbell, co-owner of The Regulator Bookshop.

In recent months, a number of small, independent businesses on Ninth Street have closed due to rent hikes—most notably Charlie’s Pub & Grille and Ox and Rabbit Soda and Sundries.

The Chronicle

10 | FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 2014

A year of “firsts” One thousand seven hundred first-year students descended upon Duke’s Chapel Wednesday like a migrating flock of swallows, to borrow Dean Steve Nowicki’s apt metaphor from Convocation 2014.

Like thousands of students before them, they sat as echoing speeches ushered them into Duke’s ranks. But unlike their predecessors, they marked unprecedented “firsts”—the highest admissions yield since 1979; the first class where more than half are students of color. What do these milestones mean, and are they cause for celebration?

Of the 2,697 students admitted to Duke’s Class of 2018, approximately 47.7 percent chose to enroll in the University, a Chronicle article reported. This yield is up two percent from the previous year, when 45.6 percent chose to enroll, and the year before when 42 percent signed on to become Blue Devils.

As laudatory as these statistics appear, however, they are not unconditional metrics of success. Although yield rates may reflect the pride and passion of the student body for their institution and increase the University’s standing in rankings like the US News and World report, they can be skewed by factors beyond academic quality. The record high

its peer institutions in admissions yield. In the Class of 2018, 82 percent of students accepted to Harvard enrolled, 78.9 percent at Stanford, and 62.5 percent at the University of Pennsylvania.

Though the record-high admissions yield at Duke is encouraging, it is important to seek improvement, not complacency.

Yet if record-high yield is a tenuous achievement with strings attached, the other Class of 2018 “first”—pioneering diversity—is an enormous step forward. Over 50 percent of the class are students of color, and 13 percent of the students are from overseas. Students hail from 48 states in the country and 47 countries around the world. Such diversity weaves unique perspectives inside and outside the

classroom, enriching class discussions on The Reluctant Fundamentalist and debates at the dinner table. Duke’s mission statement strives to “promote a deep appreciation for the range of human difference and potential.” It is where students’ divergent experiences converge in their shared learning that understanding and exploration begins.

As Duke strives to increase diversity, however, it is important to note that diversity extends beyond race and geography. It is also differences in socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientation, political ideology, and religion, among others. Duke can continue to increase this multi-faceted diversity of its student body through programs like bolstering its financial aid, making it more accessible to a broader range of students. Yet students too have an obligation to take ownership of the unique fabric of Duke’s community—they should take the time to learn from one another, to challenge assumptions, and to question. It is within this lattice of diversity and inquiry— challenge and exploration—that Duke will make itself a place where students are excited to call home.

When did it become acceptable to leave your shopping cart in the middle of the supermarket parking lot? And why, for the love of God, won’t the Republicans support the individual mandate?

In broad strokes, the individual mandate is a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires almost all Americans to carry health insurance (exemptions include things like financial hardship). If you don’t buy insurance, you will be

acceptance of early decision admits, for example, invariably boosted Duke’s final yield number. This year, 47 percent of the class was accepted early decision, as compared to 44 percent last year and only 38 percent in 2012.

Furthermore, Duke continues to lag behind

penalized on your taxes. The fee, beginning in 2014, will be the higher of either one percent of your household income or $95 ($47.50 per child under 18) per person for the year. You may think these penalties are pathetically weak relative to the annual cost of premiums (they are!), but that is the topic of another conversation.

Sure, on the surface it makes perfect sense to oppose the mandate. Like any good Republican will tell you, we don’t need any more of Obama’s big government telling us what to buy or how to live.

By definition, an individual mandate takes away some of our personal freedom because it does away with choice. Beyond the moral opposition, some people on the right oppose the mandate because of the burden it imposes on certain segments of the population. Although the law is called the Affordable Care Act, health insurance is still expensive, and forcing some people to buy it could create financial hardship (that doesn’t qualify for the exemption). Last but not least, Republicans laid their cards on the table and called the mandate unconstitutional. This claim was, however, rejected by the Supreme Court in June 2012.

Upon further excavation into the depths of individual mandate history, we begin to uncover an inconvenient truth: the mandate was originally a Republican idea.. Way back in the political stone ages of 1989, the Heritage Foundation released a brief called “Assuring Affordable Health Care for all Americans.” In it, the individual mandate served to counteract the employer mandate and the idea of universal coverage—key policy ideas coming from

the left. Four short years later the Republicans put forth the Health Equity and Access Reform Today Act of 1993. The act garnered enough support from the right to be co-sponsored by 18 Republican members of Congress. You’ll never guess how they proposed to make sure everyone ended up with health insurance— that’s right, the individual mandate. Fast forward to the first decade of the 2000’s for one of the most recent, and perhaps most shocking, examples of Republicans championing the individual mandate. It was 2006 and the Republican Governor of Massachusetts passed a comprehensive healthcare reform bill that included the individual mandate. What’s more, his plan largely served as the basis for the ACA, better known by that fear-mongering term ‘Obamacare.’ (Cue growls and hisses from the peanut gallery.)

Now you may be asking what’s so great about the individual mandate. But if both sides wanted it at one time or another, there’s got to be something logical about the policy. Well, there is! Insurance— and health insurance is no exception—is based off of the idea of pooling risk. That is to say, some people in your risk pool will get really sick over a given coverage period and require huge outlays in claims while others won’t get sick at all and you’ll get to keep virtually all of their premium payments.

To calculate premiums, an insurer aggregates the expected outlays across all of its policyholders and divides to determine what each enrollee needs to pay in premiums. The more people in the risk pool, the more stable it will be over time because larger populations have less statistical variability in their health. In short, the individual mandate helps insurers pool risk because all the healthy people are required to sign up for insurance.

To conclude, why can’t the two parties in our system synchronize their affinity for the individual mandate?

Without sounding too much like this generation’s broken record of punditry, I offer that our partisan— and toxic—political climate stands as an impenetrable barrier between smart minds and the obvious solution.

Oh, and did I mention that the Republican governor from Massachusetts was Mitt Romney, the presidential candidate in 2012 who ran, in part, on dismantling the Affordable Care Act? But I believe blaming politics as the answer is both plain vanilla and a cop out. So why is the health insurance mandate so unpopular among Republicans?

Why have they rejected an idea that was fundamentally theirs for decades? For now, I don’t know, and I guess it’ll stay one of those things I will never understand.

Five things for FDOC

Interested in reading C more Opinion?

Check out the Opinon pages at http://www.dukechronicle.com/opinon/

ongratulations on your first week of Duke! To commemorate your first First Day Of Classes (affectionately known as FDOC), here are five key things to know.

1. Study groups! Start making them!

Make study groups in your important classes on day one. You will maximize your retention of the material, your time management skills and you will make some really cool friends. Go into that lecture on Monday and talk to anyone around you. Get a feel for your new homies and suggest meeting regularly for class. Making each person responsible to write concise notes on a different reading assignment, and compiling them later, will make studying for midterms and finals a dream!

2. Say ‘sup to the Prof!

Go introduce yourself to your professor, particularly if it’s a class of great interest to you. Before you leave the room, at least pop over, say hi,

elcome to campus, new and returning Devils. The beginning of a new semester is a fresh start—a time to set unrealistic goals about procrastination, food point budgeting and alcohol intake. Above all, it’s a time to look forward to your upcoming year at Duke.

Before you get caught up in the daily

Pallavi Shankar FIVE MORE MINUTES grind of classes, let’s take a moment to reflect on how you ended up here. Each year, college admissions get increasingly cutthroat. Students jump through more and more hoops, racking up hundreds of hours of community service, winning international competitions or casually achieving celebrity status. Good grades and SAT scores are no longer deciding factors—they’re the bare minimum. This creates thousands of competent, well-qualified applicants who could thrive at a number of institutions, but colleges can’t accept everyone.

As you’ve undoubtedly been told many, many times, you’re here because someone at Duke saw something special in you. You convinced the admissions committee that you have the potential to be successful.

But if we’re being really honest, other factors also mattered. Luck. Legacy.

Race.

In April, the Supreme Court upheld Michigan’s ban on race-conscious college admissions, setting an important precedent for higher education. Michigan instated the policy in 2008, five years after the University of Michigan was sued for its 150-point system for applicants, which awarded 20 points for underrepresented minorities and only 12 points for perfect SAT scores. Currently, eight states ban affirmative action.

Personally, I support affirmative action. I fully believe that academic institutions should seek to promote opportunities for disadvantaged minority groups. We all came from different backgrounds and socioeconomic groups, and we weren’t all afforded the same opportunities.

It is unfair to compare, for example, the research accomplishments of a student with access to university laboratories and professional mentorship to those of an equally dedicated, inner-city student with high science grades who did not receive the same guidance and spent spare time working jobs. Evidence of passion and a drive to succeed comes in many different forms.

College admissions, however, have abandoned the original goals of affirmative action. Instead of boosting hard-working students towards higher education opportunities, universities aim primarily to create a racially diverse student body.

Equating minority races with disadvantaged backgrounds is problematic. Consider two applicants with similar upbringings—one white, one an underrepresented minority— who are from the same middle-class neighborhood, attended the same high school, earned similar grades and test scores and participated in similar activities. The

introduce yourself and let them know you’re excited for the semester.

Class will be more enjoyable and you will have a great channel to ask for advice later on. On the flip side, they’ll be more likely to notice if you miss class! (Mom, if you’re reading this…that was a hypothetical note. I don’t miss class.)

edit pages URM is favored because he will increase the university’s diversity index. But is he truly contributing to the diversity of the student body? His experiences are similar to those of his peers at home, not those of struggling, low-income members of his race. Yet he would also be considered a better applicant on paper than they. He has an advantage over both groups.

When Kwasi Enin recently gained national recognition for acceptance into all eight Ivy League universities (plus Duke and three SUNY universities), many people condescendingly attributed his achievement to race, while his defendants praised his credentials.

Did Enin get into those schools because he’s black? No. He’s a competent, wellqualified applicant who will thrive at Yale and could have thrived at any of his other options. He wouldn’t have been accepted if the institutions thought otherwise.

Did it help? Maybe. Enin’s performance is highly commendable, but I doubt that he’s the most exceptional student to have ever applied to the Ivies. It is certainly possible he benefitted from affirmative action.

The thing is, people like Enin don’t need the boost. Enin’s parents, both nurses, are immigrants from Ghana who greatly value education. African immigrants to America have higher rates of college education in the United States than any other immigrant group. Immigrants often make it to the U.S. because of success in their native countries.

The overrepresentation of Asians in academia and professional positions is another example of this, although Asians face the opposite problem—they are held to higher standards.

Like any multifaceted issue, there is no simple answer. States that banned affirmative action have seen decreased Latino and black college admission. As long as overwhelming socioeconomic divisions exist between the races, racial preferences in the name of diversity seem inevitable, but universities should be asking how they can make admissions fairer for underprivileged students.

3. C-2 bus stop moves!

So maybe I’m the village idiot. No, scratch that, I’m definitely the village idiot. I was super late to my first college class, with another crew of kids, because we did not know that the C-2 buses do not stop at the main East Campus bus stop with the C-1’s once classes start. There is a separate C-2 bus stop by the bridge you all painted during orientation week.

4. Find 30-minute pockets of time to work!

During the day, you might find yourself having little windows of time between classes. 30 minutes, maybe an hour. Those are secret gifts! Do your best to be one of those kids who keeps flashcards on his or her person to study on the go. On and off I try to be that person and when I’m not I HATE those people because they’re always on top of their game. If you take advantage of those little windows consistently, you’ll see major impacts to your productivity, I promise!

5. Call your mommies!

They are worried sick, they are anxious and they want to know things.

They love you. Call them! Send them weird photos of your new friends.

A photo of your FDOC outfit. Sneak a selfie in your lecture and send it to your mom. She put up with you for 18 years or more! It’s the least she deserves!

With so many young players anticipating their first career start and even more underclassmen ready to contribute off the bench, it will be up to the group of rising seniors to guide this team to a

place only the seniors are familiar with: the national championship.

“Every team needs to have great senior leadership and I think we’ve had really wonderful leadership,” head coach Robbie Church said. “They know as seniors in our program they have a lot of responsibility, and I’m really happy of how they’ve stepped up both on and off the field.”

Freshmen Imani Dorsey, Ashton Miller, Casey Martinez, Schuyler DeBree, and Morgan Reid saw lots of time in Duke’s two exhibitions, and could factor into Friday’s starting lineup. Only one senior—forward Kelly Cobb—is a definite to be in the starting lineup come Friday.

Despite that, it will be on the shoulders of every upperclassman, starter or not, to help lead this inexperienced squad.

“Even some players who won’t start, they have to make sure that everybody’s prepared,” Church said. “Everybody has to work and get everybody prepared for [Friday’s] game…. We need to have everybody on board, everybody going in the right direction, everybody helping each other.”

Blue Devils host Tar Heels in exhibition game Delaney King Beat Writer The Blue Devils will host a friendly matchup with their cross-town rival to prepare for the start of their season, which is just a week away.

Duke will play its second and final scrimmage of the fall, welcoming North Carolina North Carolina to Jack Katz Stadium vs.

Sunday at 1 p.m.

Duke Unlike last week’s matchup against DaSUNDAY, 1 p.m. vidson, this scrimJack Katz Stadium mage will function like a regular game with two 35-minute halves and scores recorded.

“Hopefully we grow from what we learned in that first match [against Davidson],” head coach Pam Bustin said.

“I’m hoping that in Sunday’s match we’re able to continue to build on some of the tactics that we’re working on and have a chance to take that and improve before our opening game.”

North Carolina advanced to the semifinal round of the 2013 NCAA tournament only to fall to the eventual national champion, Connecticut. When the Tar Heels faced the Blue Devils last September, the match stayed close until Duke edged out a victory in an overtime shootout. “[North Carolina is] obviously always a perennial leader, not only in the conference but in the country, and I’m expecting the same from them this year,”

Bustin said. “That’s what makes having a preseason scrimmage with a team of their caliber so great. It’s going to force us to acknowledge how we’re playing and to rise up to a better level.”

Both teams enter Sunday looking different from their previous encounter. Although both added eight freshmen to their respective rosters, the Tar Heels graduated only four seniors to the Blue Devils’ eight.

But Duke’s class of 2018 seems up to the challenge of filling the large shoes left by last year’s graduates.

“We graduated more than half our starting lineup,” Bustin said. “These freshmen coming in fit in great. They came here knowing what was going to be expected of them and knowing what the culture here was, so they’re enjoying it.”

VOLLEYBALL

Blue Devils honored with Top Six for Service Award Ali Wells Beat Writer The reigning ACC champions begin the 2014 season with head coach Jolene Nagel in her 16th year at the helm. The 2013 ACC and American Volleyball Coaches Association AllEast Coast Region Coach of the Year has led the Blue Devils to 11 NCAA Tournament appearances in the past 13 years, establishing Duke as one of the premier volleyball programs on the East Coast.

Not only is Nagel the Blue Devils’ most successful volleyball coach on record, but she is also building a legacy for her team that extends beyond accomplishments on the court and into the Durham community.

“Our coach puts an emphasis on academics, social lives and helping the community,” junior right-side hitter and setter Christina Vucich said. “It’s not all volleyball here so it’s a really well-rounded program.”

Duke athletes are no strangers to this focus on community involvement, with athletes on many teams participating in programs such as Read With the Blue Devils and Swim With the Blue Devils and visiting the Duke Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald House.

In May, the annual ACC Top Six for Service Award was given to six individual student-athletes at each of the conference’s institutions, recognizing outstanding community service and engagement. Duke’s recipients included Sean Davis of men’s soccer, Angel Thompson of women’s lacrosse, Elizabeth Williams of

women’s basketball and football’s Dave Harding and Cody Robinson. The sixth recipient: Nagel’s entire squad.

“We had no clue we were even going to get it,” Nagel said. “Oftentimes individual student-athletes get it, and we’ve had one of those get it a few years ago. But this was the first time a team got it. And they really did it [as a team].”

In recent years Nagel and her Blue Devils have been involved in an impressive number of service projects and fundraisers, but their connection to a local recovery program has taken center stage.

The connection between the volleyball team and TROSA—Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers—was established, appropriately, because of sports. Nagel’s children played alongside TROSA President and CEO Kevin McDonald’s children, giving Nagel an opportunity to learn more about the organization run by a fellow parent in the stands.

TROSA’s two-year program offers more than sobriety; for more than 400 residents, it provides vocational training, education, counseling, leadership training and support for the transition from the program to the community after graduation.

McDonald invited Nagel to tour the facilities, and she was amazed by the program.

“Once you go down there and take a tour, you see how it all works and how impactful it is on people’s lives and families’ lives,” Nagel said. “It’s just unbelievable. Then it was just a

Nagel saw Duke’s opportunity when she visited TROSA’s gym. She immediately noticed there wasn’t any volleyball equipment.

The Blue Devils donated the necessary equipment and clothing collected at a promotional night in 2012. And since the visit to the

facility, they have been putting on volleyball clinics for the many residents eager to show their skills. The players lead groups through drills to practice serves, sets and other techniques, even offering one-on-one coaching.

MEN’S SOCCER

Duke blanks Radford 3-0 in tune-up game Nick Martin Sports Editor After finishing last preseason with a 1-0-1 record, Duke made sure to emphasize the importance of its exhibition this year. So far, the results have been promising.

The Blue Devils defeated Radford Tuesday at Koskinen Stadium, as they completed their 0 first shutout of the RAD DUKE 3 preseason in a resounding 3-0 victory. The win pushed Duke to a 2-0 ledger in exhibition play after a 6-1 victory Saturday against Old Dominion kicked off the season.

“Radford was a great test for us tonight,” Duke head coach John Kerr said. “They’re a great team with a lot of spirit and aggressiveness. We’re going to face teams like that this season and it was a really good test for us to stand our ground and move the ball and be dynamic and build some coordination we have to have with our midfield and up front.”

Senior captain Sean Davis made sure Duke got on the board first, as the midfielder broke the scoreless tie in the first period on his only shot of the game.

Davis’ sole shot attempt came on a free kick in the 37th minute of Tuesday’s contest. Lined up several yards

outside of the left post and roughly 25 yards away, Davis bent a shot past Radford goalkeeper Kolby Johnson, hitting the top right corner of the net to break open the scoring for the Blue Devils.

His goal would be the only action of the first half, with the second half substitutes taking over the scoring. Freshman Brian White netted his first goal as a Blue Devil in the 55th minute off an assist from fellow rookie Cameron Moseley.

Senior captain James Butwin capped the scoring in the final seconds of regulation, netting a goal with three seconds remaining in a one-on-one breakaway goal to push the Duke lead to 3-0.

“The second group was even more impressive because they’re coming in being substitutes and made a big difference,” Kerr said. “They made a big difference in that Old Dominion game and they made a big difference tonight.”

After the second of three exhibition games, Duke has outscored its opponents 9-1 and seems poised to improve upon last year’s 9-5-8 record. One step the Blue Devils have made is in their scheduling of the preseason games, as the Saturday-Tuesday format lines up with how the regular season will be played.

“This is a midweek game, something we’re going to face throughout the season,” Davis said. “It’s important to come See Radford on Page 9

Blue seats mark first step in Wallace Wade renovations Staff Reports

Wallace Wade Stadium received a colorful facelift this offseason with the addition of 6,346 blue chair-back seats. sports medicine facilities and the press box on game days—will also begin during next offseason, but the newer version of the building is not scheduled to be ready until the start of the 2016 season.

The renovated tower will contain more modern luxury suites, but the lengthy process means that temporary facilities— which have not yet been announced—will be used next year.

Blue seats will also be installed on the west side of the stadium in the summer of 2016 to mirror those currently residing on the east side.

The specific renovations to Wallace Wade Stadium will coincide with the beginning of Duke’s overall plan to construct a modern athletic campus to enhance the viewing experience for all sports.

A new athletic plaza is in the works that,

Simply the beSt!

In addition to adding several freshmen that are competing for playing time in the upcoming season, Duke football has also received another major addition this offseason—6,346 blue, chairback seats for Wallace Wade Stadium.

The new seats blanketing the east side of the stadium, along with new handrails put in to create a more fan-friendly environment are the first of many steps that will transform the Duke landmark into a marketable commodity.

But after the 2014 season, the real fun will begin.

Following the Blue Devils last home game Nov. 29 against Wake Forest, five major projects are going to start that are scheduled to be completed before the 2015 season kicks off.

Most notably, the track will be ripped out, the field will be lowered and approximately 4,000 lower-level seats will be put in to get fans closer to and more engaged in the action.

Additionally, a new video scoreboard and a new field-access elevator required for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act will make the atmosphere completely different when fans return for the 2015 season.

A sixth project—the demolition of the Finch-Yeager building, home to Duke’s

when completed, will be at the center of the athletic campus. The plaza will be intended as an area for fans to congregate before and after Duke athletic events as a hub near a new pavilion that will house a team store and offices for ticketing, sports information, compliance and the Iron Dukes.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Blue Devils on full display at FIFA U20 World Cup Ryan Hoerger Sports Managing Editor Rebecca Quinn grew up going to soccer matches in Toronto’s National Soccer Stadium. On August 5, she set foot on the field herself as a member of Team Canada.

Quinn competed for Canada at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup, held in her home country this month. She wasn’t the only Blue Devil participating in the tournament—fellow sophomore Christina Gibbons played on the back line for the United States. Both teams advanced past the opening stage to the quarterfinals, but Quinn and Team Canada fell to Germany 2-0, and Gibbons and Team USA were eliminated by North Korea on penalties.

“Representing your country is one thing, and then doing it at home is another,” said Quinn, whose family and high school friends were on hand to watch her play her first two games in Toronto. ”It’s been like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I don’t know too many people who get to experience that. Taking in the atmosphere has been amazing.”

Quinn’s route to the U20 national team had been in the works for a while.

The group had been having camps every month or two for the last year and a half, with a new grouping of players brought

Sophomore Rebecca Quinn started all four of Team Canada’s matches in the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup held in her home country. in to each camp. The goal was to make as many camps as possible, and when the final roster was announced at the beginning of July—just a month before the tournament began—Quinn had earned herself a slot.

Gibbons had flown under the radar until February, when she was invited to a Team USA camp for the first time. She said she felt she on the edge of making

or not making the team, but at the end of the team’s final camp she was brought into the coach’s office and given the good news.

“Before [the meeting] I guess I was nervous, of course you always want to make the roster but it wouldn’t be the worst thing going back to Duke either,” Gibbons said. “So I was nervous and excited, but then when I found out I was

really excited and called all my family and my friends because I couldn’t keep it in. I had to tell someone.”

The defender from Raleigh watched from the sidelines as the United States dropped its opening match to Germany, but was inserted into the starting lineup for the next match, a must-win contest against Brazil. Gibbons helped anchor the American defense as the U.S. won its next two games to advance to the quarterfinals.

Gibbons played every minute of the two victories and the quarterfinal loss.

Quinn played every single minute of the tournament for Canada as well, helping the host nation overcame an opening-match loss to Ghana to defeat Finland and North Korea to reach the quarterfinals.

“What a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “To compete in a World Cup in any sport is one of the ultimate things that you can do…. We’ve missed them a great deal and we look forward to welcoming them back.”

Spending the summer training and competing with the national teams has come at a cost—the duo have been unable to participate in Duke’s preseason training and exhibition games. The situation is not without precedent—senior Kelly Cobb and former Blue Devil Mollie See World Cup on Page 11

Blue Devils to finish exhibition slate against Cougars Amrith Ramkumar Reporter In their third and final exhibition contest, the Blue Devils will welcome a huge but inexperienced group of new fans to Koskinen Stadium for the Class of 2018’s New Devil’s Night.

The Blue Devils will be facing a rebuilding Cougar squad that went 4-11-1 last year and consists of 23 underclassmen and only seven upperclassmen. The atmosphere promises to be a good one for Duke, with many freshmen scheduled to support the team following the annual freshman pep rally at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The Blue Devils are hoping the energy in the stadium coincides with their cleanest performance of the preseason as they continue to incorporate the 13 freshmen that recently joined the squad.

Tuesday’s win against Radford. “I would like to see us keep the ball more [and] capitalize on more chances. We’re looking forward to [playing the College of Charleston], which will be a good test for us.”

Although Duke’s opponent is inexperienced, the Cougars are led by the man with the fourth-most victories among active Division I coaches, Ralph Lundy.

Lundy will have to come up with a way to slow down the red-hot Blue Devil offense that has been dissecting defenses under the direction of Davis, who facilitates many of the team’s opportunities from his center midfielder position.

Duke is grateful to be able to even play a third exhibition contest, which offers an opportunity to show a level of consistency that was absent during last year’s 9-5-8 season.

“It’s good for them [and] good for us,” head coach John Kerr said. “They’re a very good team—very aggressive and athletic. They’ll be a good test for us going into the first game the following weekend at the John Rennie Classic.”

Davis tied sophomore forward Brady Huitema with a team-best six goals last season and also added three assists. The Holmdel, N.J., native takes most of Duke’s set pieces and opened the scoring Tuesday with a 30yard free kick in the 37th minute.

Along with Davis and Huitema, the Blue Devils return key offensive contributors Nick Palodichuk, Zach Mathers, Luis Rendon and Seo-in Kim, who all were in the top five on the team in either goals or assists last year. Adding freshmen that are capable of intensifying the offensive punch like Cameron Moseley and Brian White—who both scored Tuesday night—should make Duke even more difficult to defend once the season gets started.

Despite the team’s potential attacking and going forward, Kerr and his staff would like to see more improvement Friday and in practice as the season approaches. “[We’ll look at] our offensive movement and our kind of interchanges in the attack. I thought we were See Charleston on Page 10

Freshman Ashley Kristen notched her first goal as a college athlete in Sunday’s scrimmage against Davidson, adding to scores by her upperclassmen teammates. Kristen and her classmates will look to the returning players— members of the squad that traveled to the 2013 NCAA championship match—to lead by example.

“The returners have grown tremendously from last season,” Bustin said. “They all put in the work that they had to do over the summer, so I think that they’re coming back as better-seasoned and definitely more experienced winners.”

On the offensive end, Duke returns two of its five leaders in scores and assists—senior Jessica Buttinger and sophomore Heather Morris. Defensively, the Blue Devils will rely on redshirt junior Lauren Blazing in goal. Blazing ranked among the nation’s best in save percentage last season and

was recently named to the 2014-15 Women’s National Field Hockey team roster.

Looking past Sunday, Duke begins its 2014 campaign with a contest at Michigan State Aug. 29. This fall, the Blue Devils have a matchup against the ACC’s newest member, Louisville, and will also host the 2014 ACC championship.

Duke enters the season with high hopes given its success in the 2013 campaign, finishing as runners-up to the champion Huskies. If the Blue Devils can replace the loss of last year’s talent, they stand a good chance of making it back to the Final Four in College Park, Md., in November.

“We enjoyed last year, and last year helped us define who we are and what our goals are. Now it’s a whole new mix and a whole new path to get back to the same place,” Bustin said. “That’s what makes it fun, it’s always different, and so we’re going to have to find a way to continue to reach our goals but with a new group.”

Although the Buckeyes are unranked, they are not to be taken lightly, as Ohio State recently went on the road to defeat No. 14 Wake Forest in an exhibition game. The Buckeyes return eight starters from last year’s team that was knocked out in the first round of the 2013 NCAA tournament—including leading goal-scorer Nichelle Prince—giving them a lot of experience to work with, which can prove valuable especially early in the season.

It will also be important for the Blue Devils not to look past the unranked Buckeyes toward their matchup Sunday against the seventh-ranked Cardinal. For the seniors, the game against Stanford is a rematch three years in the making, an opportunity to avenge the defeat that denied the Blue Devils their first national championship.

“They’re still young kids a little bit,” Church said. “I hope [they don’t overlook Ohio State]. We’re in a lot of trouble if they do…. But I think that’s one of our [the coaching staff’s] jobs is to make sure they don’t overlook that.”

For the seniors, this season is their last opportunity to return to the national title game after reaching it three years ago as freshmen before falling in the quarterfinals the past two seasons. The prospect of still having that one final shot at grabbing a national championship in December will be a motivating factor throughout the season.

“It’s incredibly exciting,” Cobb said. “The thing we’re bringing back as a senior class is to literally embrace every single second of the opportunity that we’ve been given…. I think as a collective unit—as seniors—our goal is to just really emphasize that every day counts, every game counts.”

they’re some of our biggest fans.”

Duke invites the TROSA residents to its home matches, and they fill the stands on game night as enthusiastic supporters. Sitting in the same spot at each game they attend, they are some of the Blue Devils’ most dedicated fans.

Nagel has developed such a strong bond with the TROSA program that she was invited to give the keynote address at the residents’ annual graduation in 2013.

As the season gets under way, it becomes more difficult for Nagel and her squad to continue to do work in the community, but they are able to use their game schedule to organize fundraisers and events to raise awareness for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.

For the Clemson match Oct. 24, Duke will host its annual Dig Pink event, with the

Blue Devils donning their pink uniforms and holding a silent auction for the SideOut Foundation. The foundation seeks to make a difference in the lives of breast cancer patients and their families by supporting clinical trials, increasing patient support services and educating communities.

In 2007, Duke launched its Pennies for Points campaign, an initiative that collects donations through a silent auction for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This season’s Pennies for Points auction will be held Nov. 16 at the home match against Notre Dame.

Duke also puts on clinics for young girls in the community, most recently for a middle school in Wilmington earlier this month. The Blue Devils spend time explaining the techniques that come easily to them after so many years of practice and

develop relationships with the kids they coach. The kids they work with often come back to home games and Duke’s volleyball summer camp. The Blue Devils’ next clinic for young girls will be held Saturday at 1 p.m. at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Community service has become such an integral part of Nagel’s program and the team’s culture that the players did not realize how much they had done in the past year to garner recognition for the ACC Top Six for Service Award. Receiving the honor was a complete surprise.

“We had no clue we were even going to get it,” Nagel said. “The kids, when they got recognized, they were like, ‘What?’ They are putting in a lot of extra time. It’s great for our kids to reach out, and I think they are wonderful role models.”

back off of a great win and ride that momentum throughout the week. For the guys to come in here and take care of business was a great step going forward.”

Alhough the score was to Duke’s liking, there were still several minute details that Kerr was able to point to after the game, as the Blue Devils allowed several close calls for Highlanders throughout the contest.

Radford tallied seven shots to Duke’s 17 but managed to beat them on corner kicks 7-2, allowing it to keep the contest within striking distance.

“The communication in the backfield, make sure that we’re shifting quickly,” Kerr said. “But overall I thought performance was excellent. I’m very pleased with how we’re progressing.”

Aside from the corners and close calls, the successful turnaround and aggressive style of play that the Blue Devils featured—Duke tallied a red and yellow card Tuesday—is an encouraging sign for the squad moving forward, as it has one remaining preseason contest before the regular season kicks off.

“We’ve really come in here with a great spirit,” Davis said. “Everyone’s really committed. We got here earlier than we’ve ever been here and it’s just been the group trying to get together and familiarize itself with everything we’re going to face going forward.”

Duke will take on the College of Charleston Friday at 7 p.m. at Koskinen Stadium to conclude exhibition play.

The 16-year old Murray Building—located just off the concourse for Wallace Wade Stadium and home to Duke’s primary training and weight rooms—will also eventually be doubled in size and modernized.

All of these projects share a common funding source, the Duke Forward Campaign, the fundraising initiative with approximately $3.25 billion of funding for campus-wide projects and about $250 million earmarked for projects related to the athletic department.

For now, with most of the projects necessary to make the modern athletic campus a reality still on the horizon, fans will have to trust that the level of comfort felt from Wallace Wade’s new seats will be the same feeling they can have in a few years as the Blue Devil football program continues expanding.

with the blue seats cost approximately $250-$275, and coming off a 10-win season with recruiting classes that are improving each year, Duke football’s on-the-field product and new facilities could make those prices skyrocket.

For a stadium that has had essential no major upgrades in the past 70 years, a major makeover is in the works, and the blue seats are the first concrete representation of its new direction.

a little bit stagnant going forward,” Kerr said following Tuesday’s win. “So I want to kind of get on the same page in that regard. We haven’t been working on the final third going-to-goal yet as much, so we’re going to work on that the next couple days.”

In goal, touted freshman Joe Ohaus has been the starter thus far, but the Blue Devils have rotated heavily at the position, as they have extensively across the lineup.

Ohaus played nearly 61 minutes Tuesday night and got the win, but senior Wilson Fisher logged almost 38 minutes and also made one save as well.

But if Ohaus and the other freshmen can feed off the home crowd and perform at a high level, they will likely see their roles continue to increase. Nine of Duke’s 17 regular season contests will be played in the friendly confines of Koskinen Stadium, including marquee matchups with Notre Dame and North Carolina.

The Blue Devils’ rapid-fire exhibition schedule—three games in six days—is just another aspect of the preseason that should help Duke’s transition to the regular season.

“That’s exactly [the type of schedule] that we’re going to face in the season going forward,” Davis said. “We’ve really tried to replicate everything that we’re going to face, and I think the guys have handled it well so far.”

Church said there likely will be some growing pains for Quinn and Gibbons as they start reincorporating themselves into the Duke scheme for the regular season opener Aug. 29 against Ohio State at the UNC Nike Classic.

“We’re going to figure that out, I think our girls understand that,” Church said.

“It’s going to be a process, they’re going to have to get back in our system. It’s not just a physical process, it’s a mental process.”

Although it might take a little time for Quinn and Gibbons to mesh with the

Duke system and the new faces on the roster, those short-term costs could pay big dividends in the long run. The pair were freshmen on last year’s team that reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament, and will draw on their experience playing with their national teams as they look to take the Blue Devils back to the Final Four.

“I think that playing in international in an international competition environment is different [from college], and the pressures of playing in the World Cup are easily related to the NCAA tournament,” Quinn said. “Being able to deal with that, being in a tournament situation is really good experience for me coming back to Duke.”
