Duke includes LGBTQ question on application

ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 7

First Big Weekend kicks off with concert

Kali Shulklapper University Editor A new LGBTQ-inclusive question on Duke’s admissions supplement puts the University among the first to explicitly mention sexual orientation and gender identity on its application.

Applicants for the Class of 2019 will find an additional optional question on Duke’s supplement page—one that makes history and speaks directly to Duke’s commitment to a wide range of diversity, administrators said. Duke is the first school that uses the Common Application to ask such a question on its supplement. There are three other undergraduate institutions across the country that do so—the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Iowa and Elmhurst College in Illinois.

Duke’s supplement this year will feature the following optional prompt, with a 250 word limit for the response: See Admissions on Page 3

A second floor ceiling collapsed in February, and a subsequent examination of the building found that all plaster ceilings in West Duke should be replaced. With the building closed for repairs, facilities management decided to proceed with several other West Duke projects that had been in the planning process when the ceiling collapsed—a roof replacement, a new sprinkler system and a new elevator.

The construction required a building permit from the city of Durham—a process which usually takes about two weeks. But for West Duke the process was five weeks, for reasons unknown to the University,

More than six months after a ceiling collapse, crews are finishing construction on the West Duke building as it prepares to reopen next month.

The project was initially hindered due to delayed building permits from the city of Durham, facilities management staff said. Originally scheduled to be finished in August in time for the start of the Fall semester, the building now has an anticipated completion date of Sept. 15. Meanwhile, academic departments displaced by the repairs remain in limbo.

“The work is almost completed,” said Sarah Burdick, director for administration and special projects for fa-

BetaBox jumpstarts innovation Mobile creativity lab brings high-tech tools to campus, encourages innovation and entrepreneurship among students Gautam Hathi Health & Science Editor Duke students have access to a box full of ideagenerating technology this weekend.

The BetaBox, a “mobile creativity lab” developed by the startup Betaversity, is the size of a shipping crate and contains a range of high-tech tools to help students develop ideas for products and innovations. Rented by the Duke Innovations Co-Lab, the box will be available for use in the Bryan Center parking lot from Thursday through Sunday afternoon. Betaversity will hold workshops in the box throughout the weekend.

“We’re interested in the space before entrepreneurship happens,” Duke Innovation Co-Lab Director Michael Faber said. “We’re really interested in trying to get people to carry out those experiments and do those projects.”

The Co-Lab rented the BetaBox—which was at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill last week— to give students a space to explore their ideas and facilitate design thinking at Duke, Faber said. It contains tools such as 3D printers, microchips, laser cutters and software that will enable users to turn their ideas into reur goal is to make ality. hands-on learning “The best way to more accessible to students master something is to do it,” said Sean through all sorts of differMaroni, founder ent technology.

— Nicholas Sailer Betaversity hopes that giving students the tools to get their ideas off the ground will make innovative practices more accessible. Schools along the East Coast are able to rent the BetaBox for approximately $1,500 a day, Maroni said.

“Our goal is to make hands-on learning more accessible to students through all sorts of different technology,” said Betaversity Director of Creative Nicholas Sailer. “It’s really letting students express their creative ideas and getting those creative ideas from their head into their hands.”

The Betabox, a mobile creativity lab, contains a range of tools, such as 3D printers and laser cutters, designed to encourage students to innovate and think creatively.

Many of the Betabox tools are already present at various locations around campus, but the goal behind the Betabox, Faber explained, is to provide all of the tools in one place. Faber added that because this is the Betabox’s first visit to Duke, the Innovation Co-Lab is trying to determine whether students appreciate and utilize the space.

“What we wanted to do is to bring a space like this in for the weekend to just see how people would use it and hear from students about whether this is something that is of value to them,” Faber said.

Students ventured in and out of the BetaBox Thursday afternoon, thinking about ways to use the available equipment.

Junior Ouwen Huang said he hoped the BetaBox could introduce the Duke community to “maker” culture, which emphasizes hands-on learning and doit-yourself projects.

“This box basically has everything you need to create anything,” Huang said. “Making stuff is amazing.”

WEST DUKE continued from page 1

Burdick said.

With the building permit secured, crews were able to proceed with construction and the project has experienced no further delays, Burdick added.

West Duke typically houses the education, mathematics and philosophy departments, in addition to the Kenan Institute of Ethics and the Army ROTC program.

As a result of the continued construction, these departments have moved elsewhere.

The philosophy department has not been housed in a central location since mid-August, which has complicated the scheduling of office hours and burdened teachers who must travel between East and West Campuses to teach.

“Our lives have been completely disrupted for nine months,” said Alex Rosenberg, philosophy department chair and R. Taylor Cole professor of ur lives have been philosophy. “We’ve completely disruptlost all of the institutional necessities for ed for nine months. We’ve a collegial academic lost all of the institutional life.”

Ethics have faced a — Alex Rosenberg similar issue. The institute was relocated to Smith Warehouse a few weeks after the closure of West Duke, and the department has faced challenges in carrying out all of its typical roles in a single location from its temporary offices.

“The space that we normally have in West Duke is mixed use—it’s classroom space, programming space, office space and gallery space,” said Katharine Scott, communications and advancement manager for Kenan.

“Since we’ve been here, it’s been a little disjointed.”

MASTERY, a program run by Kenan that tutors refugee youth in Durham, has been unable to accommodate as many students due to space limitations in the Smith Warehouse, Scott said. Art exhibits and some classes have also been held at other locations around campus.

Despite the challenges, both departments noted that they appreciate the work that people around the University have done to help them cope with the construction.

“It’s been nice that so many people on campus have worked to find homes for all of us even though the circumstances weren’t ideal,” Scott said. “We’re grateful for the space that we have and that people have been accommodating in letting us use their space.”

Guttentag added that through conversations with students, administration, and alumni, it has been made clear that Duke is a welcoming place for the whole range of sexual orientation and gender identification.

“We feel that we were in a position to express that explicitly,” he said. “The world is different now than it was five years ago. We wanted to make sure with respect to sexual orientation and gender identification that people essentially understand that if it’s important to them, it’s important to us, and to Duke.”

Kort said he hopes to work closely with the office of undergraduate admission in the coming year to assess the effectiveness of this years question and investigate whether this question may function better in a different format.

“I am eager to see if the question in its current state will equitably serve the needs of LGBTQ applicants,” he said. “If it doesn’t, I would hope that the office of undergraduate admissions may again consider the idea of a check box.”

DUKE FOOTBALL’S X-FACTOR AGAINST ELON

PHOENIX LOOK TO TAKE FLIGHT

Duke opens season Saturday against Elon and first-year head coach Rich Skrosky Brian Mazur Beat Writer The slate has never been fresher for Elon.

After a tough 2-10 season in 2013, the Phoenix return to the gridiron with a new head coach in Rich Skrosky and will be playing in the Colonial Athletic Association for the first time. When Elon—an FCS team—travels 40 miles to Durham Saturday to play Duke, a sense of excitement will undoubtedly come over a team that is looking for a new identity.

“We are definitely a work in progress,” Skrosky said. “Being a first-year coach back to Elon, there is a reason that we’re here. We had a tough year last year, going 2-10. The personnel and the overall numbers are not where they need to be.

But I have said this to every constituent I have met with since I have been hired, that every day we are going in the right direction.”

The two teams have only met once since 1920, with the last meeting coming Sept.

Blue Devil right guard Laken Tomlinson will present a stiff challenge for Elon’s undersized defensive line to get after quarterback Anthony Boone Saturday.

behind a 31-of-39, 350-yard and two-touchdown performance from current Atlanta Falcon reserve Sean Renfree. The win against the Phoenix would be one of only three that season for Duke.

But fans on both sides have seen their respective teams change since then. 2010 was

the last time Elon finished with a winning record, while the Blue Devils would soon begin an ascent toward the top of the ACC. Skrosky, still evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of his own team as a first-year head coach, had only admiration for the transformation David Cut-

cliffe has overseen at Duke.

“What Coach Cutcliffe has done there, it has really been unbelievable,” Skrosky said. “I was an assistant [at Elon] from 2006 to 2010 and my last year we had the opportunity to go over there and play them. It was a good game, a competitive game, we didn’t play our best at that point in time. Knowing what they have done, following the game, it is really unbelievable. He has that program headed into a direction that a lot of people prior to him have not been able to accomplish.”

The Phoenix return experience at quarterback with fifth-year senior Mike Quinn.

The Wayne, N.J., native threw for 2,618 yards and 17 touchdowns last season, and posted a Southern Conference record by throwing 210 consecutive passes without an interception.

Quinn had to get used to a new playbook this offseason, as Skrosky is expected to incorporate some of what he learned in three years as an offensive coordinator at Ball State into the Phoenix system.

Elon will look to put the ball in the hands of last year’s team MVP, Kierre Brown, the Phoenix’s do-it-all player on offense and special teams. Last season he hauled in 50 receptions for 448 yards and two touchdowns, and has the potential to take any punt or kick to the house.

Blue Devils look to find offensive rhythm Ryan Neu Beat Writer The 2014 season has not begun exactly as head coach Robbie Church and his Blue Devils envisioned, but it is up to this young squad to turn it all around as soon as possible.

After dropping its first two games of the season in last weekend’s Nike Classic hosted by North Carolina in Chapel Duke Hill, now-unranked vs.

Duke will head to No. 13 Morgantown, W.Va., West Friday to face the Virginia No. 13 MountainFRIDAY, 7:30 p.m. eers at 7:30 p.m at Dick Dlesk Stadium Dick Dlesk Stadium.

This is the first time UAB in Church’s tenure that the Blue Devils vs. will travel to MorDuke gantown.

“We’re lookSUNDAY, 6 p.m. ing forward to it,” Koskinen Stadium Church said. “[West Virginia] has a massive reputation of being a really tough place to play…. So, [we’re] looking for-

ward to it. They’re nationally ranked this week, which is great…. They are by far the best attacking team that we’ve faced…. We need that opportunity to beat a good team and I think we’ll play well.”

Duke (0-2) is still looking for its first goal of the season as it heads into its third game. Despite posting 22 total shots in the matchup against Ohio State, none found the back of the net. Against Stanford, the Blue Devils were also held scoreless and were limited to just seven shots.

West Virginia (1-1) has not had a problem scoring—in their first two matches of the season, the Mountaineers have netted four goals—but they have had a problem defensively, allowing five goals to their opponents.

With a seemingly porous back line for West Virginia and Duke searching hungrily for its first goal of the season, it would seem that the opportunity has come for the Blue Devil offense to explode.

Church said that he would like to be able to get to a point where he can utilize a 4-3-3 formation instead of the current 4-2-3-1 so that the forwards can play higher on the attack instead of trail-

ing behind to help defensively or play through the one center forward.

Getting numbers into the scoring area to aid the offense is something that Duke will need to improve upon as well.

After getting some more work in this week—including possibly changing the formation they play in—the attacking midfielders and forwards may be more comfortable doing that. But Church em-

phasized that there was really one key to getting the offense in shape: aggressiveness.

“I don’t think that we’ve gotten to the point where we’ve attacked [opponents] as aggressively as we need to,” Church said. “Some of that’s experience, some of that’s formations, and some of that we See W. Soccer on Page 8

“

Duke football, the “institution” Tomorrow, Duke football will take the field at Wallace Wade against Elon, marking the start of a season unlike any in recent history. The team is coming off of a 10-4 finish, its best in 20 years, and one that featured an ACC Championship appearance and a heartbreaking primetime New Year’s Eve thriller against Johnny Football and company.

Duke appears to be on track toward becoming an All-American academic-athletic powerhouse. But with its eyes locked on big-time, big-money sports, is it becoming an athletic-academic powerhouse?

Success on the field has been the return on Duke’s massive investment in its football program. This year, the first noticeable renovation to Wallace Wade Stadium—which will, in total, cost approximately $40 million of the $100 million athletics renovation budget—has manifested itself in the form of 6,346 brandnew royal blue seats on the east side of the bowl, an inexpensive but aesthetically pleasing update. And there’s more to come. Over the next few years, the track will be removed from the stadium and relocated behind Koskinen, the Finch-Yeager building will be demolished in favor of a state-of-the-art press box and luxury suite tower and ultimately, if fan attendance is sufficient, the horseshoe will become a bowl.

Duke football, the institution, has been created.

But is it good for Duke University, the academic institution? It would seem so—a strong football program generates more revenue, more donations, more national attention, more progress toward achieving excellence in all facets of the modern American university. The administration would like us to see investment in football as an obvious plus, but it actually raises questions about Duke’s mission as a university.

Editorial Given that Duke Football is here to stay, the University must consider carefully the team and institution’s future. At onset, two paths appear: athletics at the expense of academics—in the vein of universities that create fake classes for their athletes—or athletics as supplementary to academics—in the vein of schools with high GPA standards for teams, like the Ivy League. Not surprisingly, Duke seems to be paving its own way, maintaining high academic prowess while continuing to raise the bar on the quality of its football program.

Currently, Duke’s football team’s academic standing is commendable, thanks in part to head coach David Cutcliffe’s strong emphasis on education—

which is perhaps most embodied in the 2008 athletic strategic plan “Unrivaled Ambition.” The team has the highest Academic Progress Report rating in the ACC, scoring 992 out of a possible 1000. But with more on-field success come higher stakes, and with higher stakes, temptations—to reduce football admissions standards and to separate completely football student-athletes from the rest of the student body, like what has developed at Stanford.

Duke must continue to resist these temptations.

Maintaining strong focus on academic success is immanent to the program’s place in the university. As the school continues to pioneer the pursuit for a true academic-athletic powerhouse, it must always remember to prioritize academics first.

As for football, the foundations of the program have been built, the stadium is being rebuilt and the institution is not far behind. Will the fans come? If the 3,000-plus locals that attended “Meet the Blue Devils” Day—the team’s open house and autograph fair— was any indicator, the answer is yes. Maybe it will be against Elon, maybe it will be on ESPN primetime the Thursday before Thanksgiving against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or maybe it will be in a few years. But one day, Wallace Wade will be a Field of Dreams come true.

Ethical disputes on Ebola

he Ebola virus has taken 1,427 lives.

The deadly virus has affected over 2, 615 people in various countries in Western Africa this year and continues to sweep throughout the nations with little note of medical intervention. The survival rate of this deadly disease is at best 10 percent.

In this world filled with advanced medical technologies it is hard to believe that we can sit back and watch this fatal virus deplete the African populations. Yet, to little surprise, two American doctors who contracted the disease

they are usually the regions for clinical trials.

With the critical need for drug and medical intervention to fight the deadly Ebola virus, why is the risk not worth the cure?

Although I am delighted to hear of the recovery of the American doctors and the possibility of a treatment for this fatal disease, I still do not understand why they were chosen for the experimental drug while the African fatalities continue to escalate. Is it because of their wealth, better access to health care than the patients that they treat or race? Maybe they

GUEST COLUMN while working in Liberia were recently released from the hospital with no traces of the Ebola virus in their systems. The doctors were given an experimental drug called Zmapp which has not been released by the FDA for administration.

However, in the desperate attempt to save the doctors’ lives, it was deemed acceptable to give them the experimental drug. Meanwhile, their neighbors in Liberia and other West African nations have very little chance of survival.

Now my curiosity has shifted from whether a cure exists to who is worth the risk of this experimental drug. How do we look at a child bleeding from every crevice in Guinea, Liberia or Nigeria and tell him that his life is not worth the risk? How do we tell the African family that there is little or no chance of survival for their mother, child, or brother while others are simultaneously being treated and cured in America?

Why does it take the threat of losing the lives of two American doctors to miraculously “uncover” an experimental drug with capabilities to cure the disease? Thousands of individuals were infected by the Ebola virus before the story of the doctors found its way to the forefront of international news. Although there was concern about the disease spreading across seas there was little intervention from the drug market. I find it very ironic that suddenly an ethical dilemma exists about giving non-FDA approved drugs to African nations. Yet, we seem to be forgetting that

were just lucky and the FDA picked their names out of a hat and decided that they were going to survive. Or maybe we are still perpetuating the lack of adequate healthcare in African countries by placing more emphasis on the monetary gain of essential drugs than their ability to save the lives of those most desperate for it. Nevertheless, the world cannot afford another Tuskegee Trial.

I am not condoning the use of drugs that have not been released for administration. I know, however, that if I were dying of disease with a 90 percent fatality rate in West Africa, I would want the world to be turned upside-down before I was declared deceased. Wouldn’t it make more sense to at least give someone the chance to survive than to automatically declare them hopeless?

As there is little estimation of when the disease will be curbed, I wonder what would happen if there was suddenly an Ebola outbreak in the United States. Doctors would be in overtime, cities closed and labs exploding with different variations of pills to pop and injections to cure to avoid mass fatalities. All in a desperate effort to save the lives of the American people.

Ebola does not respect race or culture. It does not bow down to higher economic status or give way to more “prestige” ethnicities. So then, why are we?

Kisses at sea level

I

was taught to love.

I was taught to love myself and to love others. I was taught that no matter what happens, no matter what difficulties you might face in your relationships or your endeavors, you will always be alright if you have love. And you know what? I think I’m in love with love.

I come from a small family preceded by big ones. Do you have a Jewish friend? Do you have any idea how many cousins they have?

Post summer blues

he first week of freshmen year is filled with beautiful and perhaps eye-opening moments of learning, wonder, revelation and awkward introductions. There are the new friends to meet, ones you will keep forever! The Gothic Wonderland to explore! The college-level classes that will determine your future career! The parties that you can talk to your grandchildren about! It’s all very exciting!

Unfortunately, in my experience the first week of every other year is filled with

THE WEEKEND COMES EARLY

TRUTH OR DARE

any idea how many cousins they have? The answer is that I’m half Jewish, half Lebanese and I have so many cousins I don’t know their names. They’re far-flung to all corners of the world, displaced by holocaust and civil war.

The family I know is too sparse, an assortment of chess pieces that has dwindled from a handful to a fistful in my lifetime. That’s why each relative is so precious. We fight all the time, we make up every day and we always show up at Thanksgiving because we were taught to love.

Not every family is so lucky.

It’s something I don’t see enough of these days, people loving each other, and it hurts me. I see the freshman boy smoking a cigarette on the steps of Baldwin auditorium with his first Shooters hookup under his belt and his ex-high school sweetheart on his mind. I see the senior girl, who has just pushed him away because she’s moving halfway around the world in a week’s time. I see the cis-gender men and women, the gay and lesbian individuals, the bisexual and pansexual members of the community, the gender queer and transgender humans around me, the monikers I’ve never heard of and those of us who are still searching for a letter in an ever-expanding acronym, sitting and yearning as love passes languid through our periphery.

I say “our” because I’m just as blind, and there have been times where I caught love in the corner of my eye, turned around and watched it walk away.

I’m reminded of an excerpt from T.S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets,” which reads: “We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.”

I took a gap year last year and this quote saved my life. It’s what brought me back to Duke and it’s what brought me back to myself.

It’s about the quandary of living, a basic human desire to arrive at a singular point only to realize we’ve been running around in circles.

It entreats us to become different and it reminds us of whom we once were. It’s a dejected strip tease in front of a full-length mirror.

I’ve learned that love is not a place you

find, but rather a journey you take. You get lost, disoriented and exhausted, worried that you may never again find equilibrium. It’s the epic mountain climb amidst the greatest beauties of our world, only to reach the summit and ask, “How long are we supposed to stare at it?”

And that’s fine. We’ll end up back home with a shoebox full of photographs and plane tickets, the backs of our passports stamped with red lipstick Visas. We’ll all get old and frail and stop climbing mountains. We’ll discover that love is the empathetic look you

give that person, that beautiful person, who remembers every mountain you climbed, who remembers every kiss above the clouds as the sun sets over the world and is just as happy with kisses at sea-level.

So now that we know what we want, how do we get it? Fred Rogers said, “Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest people.”

I’d like to dedicate that quote to the Class of 2018. There’s a 110 percent chance the Valedictorian at your high school said something like, “College is a fresh start, an opportunity for a new beginning” in his or her commencement speech. But it’s too tempting and too easy to interpret that statement incorrectly. He or she did not mean, “Dress better and try not to ruin your reputation again.”

He or she meant that college is a chance to course-correct, to undo the negative reinforcement of those who misunderstood you in their adolescence. Be honest. You don’t have to be the person who knows everything about sports or fashion, but you must speak fervently about your own unique passions. If you love yourself, chances are other people will love you just as much.

Congratulations, you’ve completed Mushy Love 101. Don’t worry—the next article will definitely be a lot juicier. This is going to be a sex and relationship column. It’s not going to be a list of awful sex tips full of Duke and Blue Devil puns. It’s going to be about the real issues surrounding sex and dating at Duke that bother the average student. I’m going to wax poetic on love and intimacy, conduct interviews with experts and important relevant figures, open the floor for discussion for sexpositive students, share my stories and experience, connect you with the right information, field questions about anything from my readers and explore the many ways in which sexuality presents itself.

intense avoidance of every one I know, the despair of having deadlines after a summer of pleasant stagnation and the exhaustion of getting dressed around your roommate when all one you wants to do is watch Netflix and not wear pants (I love you Simone, but this is true).

I could be the anomaly here, but I don’t think I am. At least please tell me I’m am not or I will have to seriously consider the consequences of my current lifestyle. And I don’t mean to be jaded, because it is exciting to be back in the energetic world of school and around the air of possibility that Duke offers. There’s something special about being to be surrounded by thousands of motivated, young people and feeling intellectually inspired by professors that who are more intelligent and have more books in their office than I will ever have.

But amongst all that excitement, the reality of post-summer blues for some people, like me, is often lost and smothered. Perhaps the thought of a new semester holds nothing but positivity and anticipation for you (hey there freshmen) and that indeed is a fine way to feel. But perhaps the thought of a new semester, with all its busyness, and stresses and unknown challenges, holds something weightier. As a junior, I have faced every new semester with a mingled dread and excitement, never quite throwing off my post-summer blues. I avoid people and glare from the back row in class. In short, I act like a sulky gnome not because I dislike people (hey you, I missed you) or because I hate my classes (Professor Charney, you are fabulous) but because I just can’t bear to say goodbye to summer.

Please, just not yet.

When we’re college students, we seem to live split lives. There is the place we will learn scary things about ourselves that will stay with us forever, but also the places in between where we return home or fly to new lands. On one hand, there is the wellworn routine of classes, games, lunch dates and late nights, but on the other hand, for a third of the year, we’re out in the world

doing things that might one day become stories we pass on.

And one of the most wonderful things about this school is that whatever unique vision for your summer you have, wherever you want to go in the world, Duke can easily make that possible. You can take classes in a place where the language is foreign and the food burns your tongue. You can work for a company that shows you what a meaningful career looks like, do research that pushes you to want better for the future of science

or spend it basking in the sun with the people you love most. The world is a big oyster.

But after four months of a life in a different place, how do you reconcile that world with the world of Duke?

I can see, in my mind, an image of how it will happen. Time heals everything, they say, and this is truer than I probably like to admit. Weeks will pass, and the view of the Chapel will cease to seem quite as magnificent. The faces in my class will become more familiar and the integration of Panda Express in my well-balanced diet will happen. The walk from my room to Perkins will actually start to feel reasonable. The memories of the summer, with the hot sun baking down and the cold, icy drinks slipping down my throat, the adventures running through the back streets of a city I didn’t know, this will fade to a pleasant, distant thought.

I don’t want that to happen. I don’t want to forget, because this summer I learnt about the difference between happiness and joy. I met people that taught me to be brave and fearless in the pursuit of dreams.

I changed. Whatever you did, I’m sure you return to Duke a little different, a little older than you were in the Spring. And while time heals everything, it should also teach.

Rather than forget the lessons of the summer, I am going to do my best to live them at Duke. Being joyful, kind, appreciative, and brave—these are qualities that I can bring with me no matter where I am, and I mean to try.

Eventually people will stop asking about your summer and mine. Eventually talk will turn to midterms and football and who’s dating who. But for now, I won’t stop boring you with tales of that time I tried biking to a village in Italy and ended up hitch-hiking with an interesting old couple or talked with a café owner in England who changed my mind about family...not just yet.

A Duke legend departs: Maurice Corders, 1954-2014

o those who knew him, Fayetteville’s Maurice “Mo” Corders was some kind of football player.

And he was as warm-hearted a guy as the Duke community ever had. So it was

John Bussian GUEST COLUMN especially difficult to lose Maurice, once a Duke teammate and community leader, when he passed away July 23, 2014 at the age of 59.

It is fitting that we remember Maurice on the eve of Duke Football’s 2014 opening

game on Saturday. Maurice Corders, the Duke football player, is a great story. Long before the advent of rating high football prospects with the now-familiar 4-star and 5-star rating system, Maurice would easily have been considered Duke’s first five-star prospect at defensive tackle and was, in any case, one of Duke’s first African-American football players, when he was highly recruited to come to Duke from Fayetteville E. E. Smith High School in 1972. As good as our incoming recruiting class was that year—a class that included three players who started at quarterback for Duke over the next four years—Maurice Corders was at the top of that class, a consensus High School All American,

one who had scholarship offers from colleges all over America, and chose to join, amid great fanfare, a Duke program that was 6-5 the year before Corders arrived. At 6’6” and 270 lbs, Mo was a force. With him, the Devils mounted strong efforts against Alabama, Washington, and Stanford in 1972, Tennessee and South Carolina in ‘73, and Southern California and Florida in ‘75, including a win over the Tar Heels at Wallace Wade in ‘73. Corders’ arrival symbolized, for a time, the return of a oncestoried football program at Duke.

Yet for all of Maurice’s fame on the gridiron, he became legendary at Duke over a 35-year career here for rising to become the head of security at Duke University Medical Center

and for having perhaps the biggest smile in the Duke community. Known to his friends as “the Gentle Giant,” Maurice Corders displayed a gentle nature and a quick smile for everyone he passed on a sidewalk, on the Quad or in the halls. He’s also remembered as being one of the founding members of the Duke Varsity Club, as well as for his unflinching strength in the face of disability. In his last years, Maurice Corders lost mobility to illness, yet he never lost his smile.

His legacy endures.

John Bussian graduated with Mr. Corders from Duke in ‘76 and has served as volunteer legal counsel to The Chronicle since 1992.
