Scholars confront social inequality

ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 16

After small DevilsGate, DSG looks ahead Rachel Chason University Editor

New Duke consortium will apply interdisciplinary research to solve systematic inequality Liane Yanglian The Chronicle A group of Duke scholars are uniting across disciplines to investigate social inequality through the power of research.

The Duke Consortium on Social Equity brings together faculty from across the University to bridge academic research and real-life advocacy by growing relationships with practitioners engaged in social work. It entered a soft launch phase this July and is currently engaged in strategic planning, preparing to officially kick off research and teaching activities in March, said director William Darity, the Samuel DuBois Cook professor of public policy, African and African American Studies and economics, in an email Saturday.

“We hope that the William Darity, Jr. findings generated from the studies undertaken by the scholars in the consortium can be used by practitioners seeking to expand fairness in opportunity and capability for people everywhere,” Darity said.

Researchers in the consortium will study different types of inequality, he said, including disparities created by caste, race, ethnicity, religion and gender. Darity described the consortium as a collective comparing human disparity and depravation across the United States and internationally.

The consortium has already begun immersing itself in communities after receiving a grant of $870,000 from the Ford See Equity on Page 4

Nicole Kozlak The Chronicle Duke students’ apartments just got a whole lot cleaner.

Campus Enterprises, a student entrepreneurial group, has recently launched Maid My Day, a cleaning service for Duke students living in apartments. Currently, the service is offering cleaning packages for Central Campus apartments and off-campus housing such as Partners Apartment Complex or the Heights.

“Our goal is to have this be the most acces-

sible and seamless service for our clients as well as to form a mutually beneficial relationship with our employees,” said Meredith Creighton, a sophomore and co-director of Maid My Day. Creighton and Madyn Field, a sophomore, took over Campus Enterprise’s previous cleaning service this fall, creating a new business model. They partnered with an established cleaning service in Durham with upwards of 10 years of experience. Creighton and Field said the cleaners are insured, qualified and well-reviewed.

Attendance at tailgate event DevilsGate dropped from the first week to the second, but Duke Student Government is optimistic about the program.

DSG brought the newly revised and rebranded tailgate to campus this year. The event, marketed as DevilsGate, follows several unsuccessful attempts to replace Duke’s original Tailgate, which was banned in 2010 after a 14-year-old was found unconscious in a Porta Potty. More than 800 students welcomed DevilsGate to campus for its inaugural event when Duke faced off against Elon University—compared to the average of 200 students who attended tailgate events last year, said junior Tucker Albert, DSG’s vice president for social culture.

But off-campus events and bad weather meant fewer students headed to Wallace Wade Stadium last Saturday when Duke played Kansas University, with approximately 250 students attending pre-game festivities.

“I was really happy with the first event, especially compared to how unorganized it was last year,” Albert said. “Although numbers were down for the second game—probably mostly because of the weather—I think

On second look, 1990 HIV study yields positive results Ismail Aijazuddin The Chronicle After being disregarded for more than two decades, pediatric HIV vaccines may reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to infants through breastfeeding.

Approximately 300,000 infants are diagnosed with HIV each year. Although some are born with the disease, most acquire it after birth. The first two years of life while children nurse are a critical period because breastfeeding is the main way through which HIV is transmitted to infants. Last year, Dr. Genevieve Fouda, a Duke researcher, led a team

that reanalyzed the results of several 1990s clinical trials in which pediatric HIV vaccines were deemed ineffective.

Their research—published in the most recent issue of the Journal of Infectious Diseases—showed that these vaccines induced the creation of previously overlooked antibodies which could protect some children from HIV while they are breastfeeding.

“The period of breast feeding in developing countries is between twelve and twenty-four months,” Fouda said. “If a vaccine could provide protection for the first two years of life, in the case of pediatric HIV, that would be great.”

Fouda noted that more than 50 per-

cent of children in the original studies demonstrated an immune response after two years which could prevent HIV. She also stated, however, that the challenge is not just the development of vaccines and treatments but also their distribution. Fouda added that only 60 percent of pregnant women diagnosed with HIV complete a full course of treatment to protect the child, and only about fifty percent of pregnant women are tested for HIV. Fouda hopes her study inspires future HIV vaccine trials to include young children.

“There are important differences between the immune systems of infants and

adults,” Fouda said.

“What we hope is that the scientific community will consider investigating vaccines that are promising in pediatric populations.”

Fouda hopes that her research on preventing HIV transmission to Genevieve Fouda children will help contain the HIV epidemic in developing countries where the rate of transmission after birth is much higher than in the US. “It’s about people and people who are suffering,” Fouda said. “It’s about making an impact in people’s lives.”

Albert explained student groups with more than 15 members can sign up for one of 15 tents DSG has purchased, and smaller groups can sign up to share tents.

DevilsGate began the season with 12 tents, but DSG requested the funds for three additional tents after the first home game in order to accommodate growing student interest.

Senior E. J. Baldridge, who headed to Phi Delta Theta’s tent before the Kansas game Saturday, said he had a great time at the tailgate.

“It’s still an uphill battle because there’s such a tradition of not going,” Baldridge said. “But this is a great option—we

loved it. We’ll be there again at 10 a.m. this Saturday.”

Sophomore Steven Brenner, who went to Wayne Manor’s tent before both the Elon and Kansas games, said he is optimistic about DevilsGate but feels it is still a “work in progress.” He lives in Crowell, so he said the convenience of DevilsGate is a big part of its appeal.

“It’s awesome to have an on-campus tailgating option, but there’s definitely a long way to go before the entirety of students choose DevilsGate over off-campus options,” Brenner said.

Albert said he hopes to see student attendance increase at DevilsGate and football games this season. His goal is to have 1,000 students gather by the tents outside the stadium, he noted.

“I want it to have the same feel as K-Ville before a Carolina game,” Albert said. “I’d love to see the snowball effect, and that more and more students will sign up once they realize this is the model that’s here to stay.”

Blue Devils bounce back in Sunday win against Tigers Meredith Cash Staff Writer In a move much reminiscent of the one he made during Duke’s victory against Arkansas, head coach Robbie Church made the bold decision to swap starters Toni Payne, Kelly Cobb and Imani Dorsey for reserves Katy Colas, Krysia Sikora and Casey Martinez.

The dynamic play that DUKE 1 followed was just what the Blue HOFS 2 Devils needed to pick up their game.

0 LSU The switch happened with 14 DUKE 1 minutes left in the first half of Duke’s 1-0 victory against LSU at Koskinen Stadium Sunday afternoon. Colas went on to score nine minutes later with a beautiful chip over the goalkeeper’s head from 14 yards out.

“It was an absolutely huge goal and a huge composure goal too. [Colas] saw the opportunity and went up and over the goalkeeper. It was just a beautiful touch,” Church said of the sole goal of the game.

“Energy is the main thing [the reserves] bring in, and Katy [Colas] brought that today.”

Colas’ goal—her first in two years—came from just one of many opportunities Duke (4-4) had to score. The team dominated the game from the opening whistle, putting up the first six shots of the game and outshooting the Tigers (4-3-1) 14 shots to two in the first half. It was just a matter of time before the Blue Devils’ effort translated to the scoreboard.

“When our group of three forwards come in—me, Casey and Krysia—over the past couple of games you just kind of knew a goal was coming,” Colas said. “We go in with a mentality to just work our butt off and try to wear down the defenders.

When I saw Quinn’s head ball was a loose ball, we just have a mentality to go after it and take a chance. I was a little surprised, but I will take it.”

The win was much needed for Duke, which lost to Hofstra 2-1 Friday at Klockner Stadium in Charlottesville, Va. Again, the Blue Devils outshot their opponent by a wide margin. But luck did not fall on their side as Hofstra scored on just two of nine shots all game.

“It was a very tough loss. We had our chances, no question,

SPORTSWRAP Carolyn Chang | The Chronicle Duke senior Katy Colas’ first goal in two years was a memorable one, as it would go on to be the deciding score in Sunday’s 1-0 victory against LSU.

but we hit a couple of crossbars and a couple of posts. We’ve been a bit unlucky, but we didn’t do a good job coming out at the beginning of the game,” Church said. “We’re not as composed as we need to be. We’re pressing a little bit and we have to relax. I didn’t prepare them to play up to their potential as much as I needed to.”

The game was scoreless for the entirety of the first half.

Sam Scolarici, who set Hofstra’s career goal record last Sunday, scored the first goal of the game 61 minutes in after a botched clearance by the Duke defense right in front of the net.

The Blue Devils retaliated after a handball in the box sent sophomore Christina Gibbons to the penalty spot for the second game in a row. She effortlessly drained the ball into the back of the net.

“In the Penn State game I kinda went down pretty easily when I felt the defender’s hands on me, but in this one the handball was lucky,” Gibbons said. “I’ve been practicing [penalty kicks] a lot and I take a lot of pride in them, so I’m happy I’ve had the opportunity to take some.”

This weekend marks the end of nonconference play

for Duke, and though going into ACC play with an even record is not ideal, the team is confident that it is ready to take on the powerhouses within the conference.

“We still have a lot to learn. We are still a young team, but I also feel like we’ve challenged ourselves with this nonconference schedule and we’ve learned a lot,” Gibbons said. “That’ll help us down the road during ACC play.”

The Blue Devils will face Pittsburgh 7:00 p.m. Friday at Ambrose Urbanic Field to kick off ACC play. They will use the break to focus on how to smooth out kinks in the defense and maintain the offensive prowess they have achieved during the past few games.

Improving on an already meager record will likely be tough for Duke, as eight ACC teams are currently ranked in the top 25.

“We’re realistic. We know we have to win some games in the ACC to get into the NCAA tournament, and we know that it’s going to be tough,” Church said. “The main thing you have to do in the ACC is look at one game at a time. You can’t look at anything past that.”

Duke closes tough weekend on a high note Ali Wells Beat Writer Traveling to the west coast this weekend, Duke survived a whirlwind of three games in 24 hours and a test of team confidence.

The No. 20 Blue Devils rebounded from losses to No. 1 Stanford Friday and Santa Clara Saturday to bring home a win against Pennsylvania Saturday night.

The weekend’s schedule was DUKE 1 Duke’s most challenging and STAN 3 tiring to date, pushing the Blue Devils emotionally and physically DUKE 0 with little time to rest after each 3 of their two losses.

SCU “On the one hand, I think DUKE 3 it’s been good for us to be PENN 1 challenged like that, get a little bit of conditioning and get our minds right for the quick turnaround,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “I don’t think we did the best job at that. But I think it was great that we experienced it, and we are going to learn from it.”

Committing three service errors and five errors on attack, the Blue Devils gave up the first set of the match against Pennsylvania and seemed to be headed for their third loss of the weekend. The Quakers (2-5) jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second set.

But a kill by outside hitter Jeme Obeime suddenly shifted the momentum in Duke’s favor. With kills from Breanna Atkinson and Alyse Whitaker bookending a series of Pennsylvania’s errors, the Blue Devils forced the Quakers to take a timeout and claimed the lead 6-5, which they would not relinquish for the remainder of the set.

“The first set of the Penn match, we were just trying to regain our confidence and to play like we know we are capable of playing,” Nagel said. “Once we were able to execute better on the serve and offensively, we were able to gain some confidence and things just got better from there.”

Two service aces from Pennsylvania’s Ronnie Bither to bring the score to 18-16 kept Duke from running away with the second set, but after a Blue Devil timeout, freshman Nicole Elattrache responded with three service aces of her own. Duke sealed the set with a kill by outside hitter Emily Sklar.

Sklar paced the Blue Devils on offense Saturday night, recording a career-high 24 kills. With just 45 attempts, the junior hit at a .422 clip and also recorded eight digs, a block and a service ace.

“I think Emily is still getting back into where she needs to be in terms of playing in a rhythm,” Nagel said. “She was very consistent offensively. To be where we need her to be, the consistency needs to be there…

We need her to do all those things as a six-rotation player.”

Duke claimed the last three sets of the match easily, each by an eight-point margin or more, taking the match 3-1. The Blue Devils (5-3) needed the victory to rebuild confidence and to end the weekend on a high note after two tough losses.

Duke faced Stanford Friday night, hoping to knock off the nation’s top-ranked team, but the squad found its rhythm too late offensively and was unable to keep up on defense.

Middle blockers Inky Ajanaku and Merete Lutz powered the Cardinal attack, giving Stanford its first 5-0 start to the season since 2011. Ajanaku—last week’s AVCA National Player of the Week—knocked down a career-high 21 kills against the Blue Devils. Redshirt freshman Lutz started her first match for the Cardinal and recorded a career-high 13 kills.

With the pair amassing 10 kills without an error in the first set, Stanford claimed the first set easily, 25-11.

Duke’s back line stepped up to slow down the

SPORTSWRAP Olivia Anderson | Chronicle File Photo Junior Emily Sklar posted a career-high 24 kills in the Blue Devils’ 3-1 win against Pennsylvania, with the final kill sealing the game for Duke.

Cardinal attack in the second set. The Blue Devils picked up 30 digs in the second frame, led by sophomores Sasha Karelov and Chloe DiPasquale.

Karelov recorded a match-high 18 digs and DiPasquale recorded a career-high 12.

Also stepping up the effort on offense, Duke knocked down 20 kills and nearly took the second set after battling back and forth with Stanford. But at set point 25-24, an Ajanaku kill, Cardinal ace and Blue Devil error turned the tables and put Stanford up 2-0.

Duke was able to claim the third set by limiting the Cardinal attack to nine kills with four blocks, all solo or assisted stops by Whitaker. The 25-23 victory in the third frame only stalled Stanford briefly.

Hitting at .654 to the Blue Devils’ .222, the Cardinal squad took the fourth and final set 25-15.

“The team actually played pretty well,” Nagel said.

“But I also expected us to have gotten that second set and I feel like we let up in the fourth set. We didn’t go after it, and that was disappointing because we are a

team that can do that and needs to do that to take the next step.”

After falling 3-1 to the nation’s top team Friday, Duke entered Saturday’s first match with Stanford still on their minds.

The Blue Devils were not able to find their rhythm again Saturday afternoon against Santa Clara, struggling with team confidence. Duke fell behind and fought its way back in each of the three frames, only to lose the sets by three points or less.

Late in the third set with Santa Clara up 23-16, a kill from Obeime seemed to turn the momentum around for the Blue Devils. The squad fought back to within two points, 23-21, but could not hold off match point.

The Broncos (8-2) swept Duke 3-0.

“They were the aggressors for sure, which was frustrating because we weren’t where we needed to be emotionally and mentally,” Nagel said. “They caught us too much on our heels and we didn’t do that to them enough.”

True freshman Wilson breaks rushing record Amrith Ramkumar Staff Writer Already up 10-0 with a little less than six minutes left in the first quarter against a reeling Kansas squad, the Blue Devils were looking for a big play to put their opponent’s back against the wall.

On first down, offensive coordinator Scottie Montgomery dialed up a pass, the traditional play call for Duke when seeking a momentum-shifting play.

After an incompletion, running back Shaun Wilson showed Blue Devil fans on second-and-10 what future first down play calls might look like when Montgomery wants a big play.

The true freshman took the handoff from Anthony Boone on the inside zone, darted through a hole up the middle and said sayonara to the Jayhawk defense.

69 yards later, Duke was up 17-0 with 5:32 left in the first quarter and any memories of last week’s 14-3 first quarter deficit at Troy and running back Jela Duncan’s suspension were left in the wake of Wilson’s explosion. “[I was thinking] get the ball, and if you see green, you’ve got to just go, so I just ran as fast as I could,” Wilson said.

“The line did tremendous. I just went where [I] needed to be and hit the holes like I should have.”

The Charlotte native wasn’t done there.

After Duke added a third-quarter touchdown to go up 27-3 following a sluggish second quarter from Boone and the rest of the unit, the 5-foot-9, 180-pound speedster struck again with less than a minute remaining in the period.

Wilson nearly produced an exact replica of his first game-changing run, exploding through a hole on an inside run, breaking a tackle, then outrunning several hopeless Kansas defenders to the promised land for a 68-yard score.

Although Wilson became the first Blue Devil in more than 70 years with two runs that long in the same game,

what stood out on his second touchdown was the dominant blocking by Duke’s offensive line and wide receivers.

Once Wilson finds a tiny crevice, his teammates know all they have to do is stay engaged with their blocks and hustle down field and the Blue Devils could be putting up six points on the board.

“Today was Shaun Wilson’s coming out party,” All-ACC wide receiver Jamison Crowder—who had just two catches on the day—said. “Just being a player, if you’re not getting the ball, [you] feel happy seeing other players making [big] plays. We just got in position to make blocks and help spring big runs.”

Duke’s newest menace for opposing defenses added to his record-shattering performance in the fourth quarter with the game’s outcome already decided, busting off consecutive long-runs of 32 and 45 yards to stake claim to the Blue Devils’ freshman single-game rushing record and add a third touchdown to an already unforgettable performance.

Needing just one more yard to break Duke’s all-time single game rushing record late in the game, Wilson got his chance on the last play of the game.

It was common knowledge on the Blue Devil sideline what was at stake as the final seconds ticked off the clock. “[Running backs coach Re’quan Boyette] almost ran over me to tell me,” Cutcliffe said. “[We were] happy that he got the yardage. You don’t ever want to be one yard short.”

Despite only needing one yard, Wilson helped maintain his astronomical 20.5 yards-per-carry average by getting eight on the game’s final play and finishing with 245 yards and three touchdowns on just 12 carries.

And possibly the best thing about his masterful performance was that he wasn’t even the one most excited about it.

“The happiest people for Shaun Wilson’s ability to break a school record were [fellow running backs] Josh Snead, Shaquille Powell and [Joseph] Ajeigbe,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “That’s the most unselfish group of people. That

Despite a slow second quarter and resting in the final period, redshirt senior Anthony Boone still manag was sincere—the joy all of our players had for Shaun’s accomplishment.”

Many people are just now learning Wilson’s name, but his quick first step is something that was shown in the first two games of the season.

The 46th-ranked running back in his recruiting class entered Saturday’s game averaging 9.9 yards per carry, a mark that was ninth-best in the country already.

It is somewhat mind-boggling to consider that he only received five scholarship offers, but Wilson ended up in the perfect fit in offensive line coach and run game coordinator John Latina’s scheme for Duke’s running game.

“In our industry, everybody knows that [Latina] does a great job teaching the zone play and a great job with linemen,” Cutcliffe said. “He’s done it for a lot of years. People comment to

Wide receiver Max McCaffrey hauled in the first score of the game less than four minutes into the first quarter.

me about that. [This performance] is a great tribute to [Latina] and the group he’s putting together.”

With his sleek frame and knack for finding holes with his bullet-like speed, Wilson could see a rapid increase in his touches as the season wears on, so next time don’t be surprised if the Blue Devils dial up a run on first down.

It might be all they need to score.

“I knew he had it from watching him in practice,” Boone said. “If you hesitate, he’s going to hit a seam and he’s gone.

I worked out with him and said ‘Man, if you figure out how to hit our inside zone seam right, you’re kind of small and people aren’t going to see you and you’re going to bust seams for us and be a game changer.’ He definitely was today.”

Safety DeVon Edwards nabbed the Blue Devils’ first interception of the season on the possesion following McCaffrey’s first score.

Blue Devils rock Jayhawks in 2009 rematch

KU 3

Nick Martin Sports Editor After getting off to a slow start against Troy last week, Duke emphasized how important starting fast would be against Kansas. The Blue Devils showed why Saturday.

Duke jumped out to a 17-0 lead and didn’t look back, as they cruised to a 41-3 victory against Kansas Saturday afternoon at Wallace Wade Stadium.

True freshman running back Shaun Wilson had a breakout performance, rushing for a school-record 245 yards and three touchdowns on 12 carries.

The blowout was reminiscent of the first game between the teams back in 2009 when the Jayhawks handed the Blue Devils a 44-17 defeat in Lawrence, Kan. Five years later, it is now Duke who has the talent and depth—Wilson being a prime example—to run teams out of the stadium. And head coach David Cutcliffe is more than pleased to have the tables turned.

“From 2009 to now, that’s a pretty significant difference. We knew that going in,” Cutcliffe said. “Anytime you win [a game against a Power Five opponent], and particularly when you win it in a dominating fashion, that’s a good thing for us.”

After holding the Jayhawks (1-1) to negative-13 yards on the first series of the game, Duke (3-0) struck on its first offensive series. Redshirt senior quarterback Anthony Boone capped a six-play, 60-yard drive with a 36-yard strike to a wide-open Max McCaffery, who was able to stroll into the endzone.

Boone finished the day 19-of-33 for 180 yards and two scores and did so without his favorite target.

Senior receiver Jamison Crowder, who entered the contest with 25-straight games with five or more receptions, was nonexistent throughout the afternoon, as he registered only two receptions for 14 yards.

Wilson finished the game with an eight-yard run to secure the single game rushing record for the freshman.

weapons,” Crowder said. “If you’re not getting the ball, some players get down and get discouraged and not be a leader, like I am. But I pride myself on being an unselfish guy so it’s good and I feel happy when I see other players making plays. As a coach and as a player it lets you know your team is getting better.”

McCaffrey filled in well as the top receiver, as he posted seven catches for 79 yards and was on the receiving end on both of the Blue Devils’ passing scores, all career highs for the Castle Rock, Col. native.

“The two plays, I was fortunate enough that they ran single-coverage and that I was the option on that play,” he said.

Although McCaffrey had what Crowder called a “coming out party,” Wilson left little room for others in the spotlight with his breakout performance. Following a Martin field goal and another Kansas three-and-out, the Charlotte native exploded for a 69yard touchdown run to put the Blue Devils up 17-0 with 5:32 left in the first quarter. The run was the first score of his career. But he was not close to being finished.

Leading 27-3 with 44 seconds left in the third quarter, Wilson broke free and ran past the entire Jayhawk defense once again for a 68-yard score. Then again in the fourth quarter, Wilson broke away for back-to-back big runs of 32 and 45 yards, with the second going for a score.

On the other side of the ball, Duke’s secondary shut down Kansas quarterback Montell Cozart throughout the game, holding the Jayhawks’ signal caller to 89 yards through the air.

Redshirt sophomore DeVon Edwards registered the unit’s first interception of the season when he picked off Cozart in the first quarter. Everett Edwards would add to that in the second quarter when he picked off an errant pass. Both interceptions led to field goals for the Blue Devils.

A mobile threat, Cozart used his legs to escape the pocket several times, as he finished the day with seven rushes for 45 yards. But the Blue Devils forced him to throw the ball away throughout the afternoon, as they registered five quarterback hurries and a pair of sacks.

“We just knew that he was a pretty good quarterback and he was good on his feet so we had to be disciplined, especially when he started scrambling,” Edwards said. “We were just zero-focused in on what we were supposed to do for longer than usual because we knew he was a scrambler.”

The win makes Duke 3-0 for the first time since 1994 when it opened the season with seven consecutive victories.

The Blue Devils will try to push the streak to four next Saturday, as they take on Tulane at 12:30 p.m. at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Cross Country

Duke reloads, takes first at JMU Invitational Jake Herb Staff Writer After graduating four of its top five runners, it looked like this year would be one of rebuilding for Duke. Instead, the Blue Devils just reloaded.

Newmarket Battlefield State Park in Harrisburg, Va., played host to a skirmish of speed Saturday as five collegiate cross country teams descended on the historic grounds for the James Madison University Invitational.

Placing four runners in the top five, Duke dominated the competition, winning with a combined total of 22 points and earning wins against Virginia Military Institute, George Mason, Longwood and Concord. With many of the Blue Devil runners toeing the line as varsity scorers for the first time, they wasted no time in proving that they can get the job done.

“We knew we had some talent, these guys have just never really had the opportunity to prove themselves before because we’ve had such a good group,” Director of Track & Field Norm Ogilvie said.

George Mason redshirt senior Micheal Conway separated himself from the pack early Saturday to claim the individual title with a time of 24:45.9.

But a 9.7 second split between scoring runners gave Duke the team victory.

Boosted by tight pack running, the Blue Devils held strong against challenges

by VMI to win the meet in convincing fashion.

In his first meet of the season, junior Blake Udland led the Duke squad, finishing second overall and covering the 7,900-meter course in 25:08.8. Fellow Blue Devils Daniel Moore, William Rooney and Nate McClafferty stormed across the finish line less than a second apart to capture fourth, fifth and sixthplace. Junior Henry Farley, who finished first for Duke last week at the Virginia Duels, rounded out the scoring, placing ninth with a time of 25:18.4.

The Blue Devils were without senior runner Shaun Thompson Saturday, as he weighs the possibility of redshirting his senior year. But solid improvements from Duke’s developing runners proved

Men’s Golf

Blue Devils show promise at Ocean Course Shivam Dave Staff Writer In its first competition of the season, Duke came out of the gates with an inspired opening round performance but showed it still has some work to do.

The Blue Devils started off their season in Kiawah Island, S.C. at the storied Ocean Course with a 54-hole, three-day tournament where they placed seventh, shooting a 25-over 889 and finishing 39 strokes behind eventual winner South Florida.

Freshman Adam Wood shot an impressive 2-under 214 in his first collegiate tournament and tied for eighth place, just six shots behind the South Florida’s Chase Koepka who claimed first. Duke head coach Jamie Green saw the tournament as a learning experience for the team and emphasized the beneficial effect of playing on the difficult and unpredictable Ocean Course.

“As a coach…I’m just trying to get their games out there to the best golf courses we can find so that they can assess their own games and see how much closer we’re getting to being an elite team,” Green said. “You can’t just snap your fingers and change 30 strokes overnight…so for us it’s a matter of [identifying] the controllable things that we can do something about.”

That future looks promising after strong showings from Wood and fellow freshman Jake Shuman. Shuman put together two stellar opening rounds and found himself tied for 11th before Sunday’s finale.

A rough final round in which the Boston native bogeyed four holes in a row before

SPORTSWRAP Brianna Siracuse | Chronicle File Photo Motin Yeun’s strong performance in Sunday’s final round was not enough to pull the Blue Devils back into the top five at the Invitational at Ocean Course.

collecting three double-bogeys on the back nine dropped him to 33rd. Nevertheless, the freshmen duo showed a commendable level of poise in their first official event as Blue Devils with their strong opening rounds.

Wood in particular demonstrated the skills that helped make him a state champion golfer last year in Indiana, as he adjusted well to the increased difficulty level of a college fairway. He started off his Duke career with a birdie on the first hole Friday en route to finishing the weekend

with 11 birdies. His overall score of 3-under on par 4 holes was good for the second best performance on par 4 holes for any player at the tournament. Wood’s ability to keep errors to a minimum was also on full display this weekend—he only shot above par on seven holes through the entire weekend, something even the overall leader Koepka couldn’t manage to do.

“He’s a very tactical, calculating, and intelligent player,” Green said of Wood. “He doesn’t try to push the envelope…when

the course makes it risky.... He really puts himself in a position to shoot a good score on every hole.”

The veterans of the team played consistently through the three rounds, and helped keep the team in the top 10 at the tournament. Last season’s leading Blue Devil Motin Yeung spent the first two rounds shaking off some rust after a sore back kept him out of practice earlier in the week. He found his form Sunday, finishing 1-under par and climbing 20 spots on the leaderboard to finish 31st.

Senior Michael Ricuarte shot an 11over to finish 41st and was followed by sophomore Max Greyserman and senior Turner Southey-Gordon, who rounded out the team by tying for 45th. Aside from Yeung, the returners played their best golf Friday and helped Duke rank third at the end of the first round .

Next week, the Blue Devils take on a host of ACC and SEC opponents at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Collegiate Challenge Cup in Nashville, Tenn. As Duke begins facing titans like Georgia Tech and Clemson, the level of competition will ramp up. Green, however, seemed unconcerned and instead hammered home his dedication to constant improvement all across the lineup.

“As I’ve told these guys—and you hear this over and over and over—in our game, you’re not playing against the other teams,” Green said. “I’ve coached teams that have won tournaments by 10 or 15 shots and still we walk away from that saying ‘How could we have done a little bit better?’ So right now, that’s the goal.”

An Ode to Wallace Wade (The Stadium that is) There is something about Wallace Wade Stadium that has always appealed to me.

The first time I ever walked through the student gate and into the concourse I was amazed by the difference between this stadium and all of the college stadiums that I had grown up seeing on television.

Behemoths like The Horseshoe (Ohio State), The Big House (Michigan) and Bryant-Denny Stadium (Roll Tide) all hold more than 100,000 crazed fans and are packed to capacity even for games against the likes of Arkansas State and Bowling Green.

As I strolled across the concourse towards the student section, I looked out onto the field and noticed the trademark toilet bowl shape of the stadium and the track left down on the field. I imagined that this was what it was like to attend a high school football game in a state aside from Texas.

My friends and I lumped down the endless steps toward the front of the student section and prepared ourselves for our first live college football game, keys in hand. The first thing that I noticed now that I was immersed in the crowd was that despite the fact that Wallace Wade only holds about 34,000 people,

Ryan Neu

there was an empty feel about the stadium.

Scanning around the stands, it was hard not to notice all the empty pockets where the metal reflected in the waning sun.

And then, of course, are the bleachers themselves. I don’t know why the Duke stadium architects love using bleachers as seating instead of, well, actual seats but to them I say thank you. It makes the fan experience more real (An aside for those that don’t know, Cameron Indoor, Koskinen, Jack Katz, Jack Coombs and Wallace Wade all use bleachers at least to some extent). And all this I noticed before the first ball was kicked off its tee.

The game was not one to remember. In fact, I think most of us seniors who remember the 2011 home opener against Richmond—a Division I-AA team that ended that season on an eight-game losing streak—would prefer that we had remained at the tailgate that day.

Turnovers spelt out the defeat for Duke, but of the few of us that remained until the final whistle, none of us will forget the 28-yard field goal attempt with about minute to play that could have salvaged the game for our team.

But instead it was shanked and sent the last of the students home discouraged.

I have been to many different college and professional football stadiums since that first game in Durham—Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, Kenan Memorial in Chapel Hill,

the Georgia Dome in Atlanta and MetLife Stadium in New York just to name a few—but none of those stadiums have the same feel and the same allure to me as Wallace Wade.

During my career here at Duke there have been three days where I think Wallace Wade was the greatest stadium in the country and coincidentally—or maybe not—they were all days that the student section was filled to the brim, reminiscent of many a basketball game.

In 2012, the Blue Devils upset the Tar Heels at home to take the Victory Bell back to its rightful home for the first time since 2003.

The noise throughout the game permeated every person that was present and culminated in a climax of students swarming the field for the first time in anyone’s memory.

In 2013, Duke was riding a five-game win streak—including a road upset against Virginia Tech—going into its final home game of the season against a highly touted Miami team. Again, the entire stadium was filled with blue and white, creating an atmosphere that I had never experienced before at field level. Again, the Cinderella squad was able to knock off a top team and again my friends were able to join the team on the field in spectacular display of wallhopping ability.

Both of these games were against very

good ACC rivals in the midst of a long and arduous season. That was why it was surprising to me when the third game that made my list was this season’s home opener against Elon. As I glanced up into the student section one last time before kickoff a thought crossed my mind that never had before: they’re not going to stop letting in students, are they? I have never in my life seen our student section so full, not against North Carolina, not against Miami. The energy was palpable—almost dangerous—throughout the game, and it wasn’t even a game that really mattered.

Now that I write this, I think I realize what really makes Wallace Wade special.

The physical aspects of the stadium do have this endearing quality to them much like that of the underdog itself. The stadium is a representation of the team we have all fallen in love with throughout the past two seasons. But apart from that there is one quality that—much like Cameron—you can feel in Wallace Wade but nowhere else. Big stadiums are loud.

Small stadiums have energy and that’s something that can never be renovated or made state-of-the-art. It exists within the people who arrive to the stadium, week after week, ready to watch their team write history once again.

“The ACC has some really good teams, and every game’s a challenge” The Cardinals (2-1-1, 1-0-0 in the ACC)—who had gone scoreless in their past two games—took quick control of Saturday’s match.

“I’m very pleased with Blake Udland.

He did a really nice job,” Ogilvie said.

“Our top five ran really well. Nate [McClafferty], he’s a senior, and I think this was his best Duke cross country race.”

Freshmen runners Matt Luppino and Josiah Hanko also posted strong showings in their collegiate debuts.

Luppino raced his way into Duke’s top seven, finishing 14th overall with a time of 25:31.7. Hanko was just off that mark, finishing 15th overall with the time 25:33.0. Freshman Shaun Kelly traveled with the team to Harrisburg but sat the race out due to back pain.

The strong performances from returning runners and new runners alike are welcome signs for a Duke team that is looking for leaders to fill the shoes left by top scorers Mike Moverman and Brian Atkinson. The Blue Devils are clearly embracing the challenge, but more needs to happen if the team is to recover the duo’s lost scoring potential.

“We need to get better,” Ogilvie said.

“On the back end we have to tighten up our eighth, ninth and 10th [runners]. In the front, we could improve as well, but [I’m] very pleased. This is a solid win.”

Next week, Duke’s top 10 runners will travel to Earlysville, Va., to compete in the Panorama Farms Invitational.

Salvadores commits to Duke Five star recruit joins two fivestar players in Duke’s 2015 class Nick Martin Sports Editor In an offseason that has resulted in the loss of four of Duke’s five top scorers from last season, the Blue Devils finally had some good news come their way Sunday.

Five-star recruit Angela Salvadores verbally committed to the Blue Devils via Twitter. ESPN has her slated as the No. 5 overall player in the Class of 2015.

“Commited (sic) to Duke!! Thanks to the other 3 colleges// A partir del año q viene jugaré en Duke!!” Salvadores wrote Sunday.

Salvadores had visited with Purdue, Kentucky and Louisville in addition to Duke. The commitment—like all verbals made by recruits—is not official until she signs with the Blue Devils.

The move is crucial for Duke, which lost starting point guard Alexis Jones to Baylor via transfer in July. Although she would have not played this upcoming

season due to a pair of knee injuries, the loss of Jones was still tough for a squad that also graduated seniors Tricia Liston, Haley Peters and All-American point guard Chelsea Gray.

This makes the addition of Salvadores all the more important, as she will replace the lost scoring production of Jones in addition to that of All-American center Elizabeth Williams, who is set to graduate this upcoming spring. The 17-year old point guard was named tournament MVP for her performance on Spain’s national team in the FIBA U17 World Championship this past summer. Against Team USA, she dropped 40 points and shot 71.4 from behind the arc as Spain dropped the contest 77-75. Throughout the tournament, she averaged 19.9 points with a 49.6 shooting percentage and 7.4 rebound per game.

Salvadores joins two five-star players in Duke’s 2015 class in point guard Kyra Lambert and guard Faith Suggs. Fourstar recruit guard Haley Gorecki rounds out the group. This additions gives Duke the opportunity to build on its strong string of recruiting classes. The Blue Devils Class of 2014 was ranked No. 2 by ESPN.

To do or not to do

A

utumn: it brings to mind the changing fall leaves and air that is finally crisp and dry.

One of the most noticeable indications of autumn at Duke however, is not the vibrant foliage, but instead the sudden plethora of besuited students in von der Heyden. That’s because au-

Editorial tumn—the season for all things pumpkin and thick sweaters—is also the season for consulting and finance recruitment.

The reasons for going into jobs in consulting and finance are many and compelling. Applying to a consulting firm in particular is relatively easy and carries little investment of time and risk. Consulting and finance firms hold scheduled recruitment sessions on campus and do a scarily excellent job publicizing themselves among students.

Moreover, careers in consulting and finance offer high salaries for entry level positions, while promising recent graduates an exciting chance to facilitate transformational deals in government, business and finance.

Yet the reasons for going into consulting and finance careers, while valid, are often inapplicable to a worryingly large portion of students who do apply for such jobs. Consulting and finance market themselves as careers which impart flexible and highly transferable skill sets that will prepare employees for the job they really want a few years down the road.

Preserving this optionality—keeping all doors open—is appealing for a cohort of highly ambitious but ultimately indecisive graduates that Duke churns out each year. Finally, consulting and finance jobs undeniably act as indicators of capability to future employers, academic institutions and the social powers that be. Experience in consulting and finance industries are credentials which are powerful not because they may necessarily be true, but because they are universally understandable and well-received.

Of course, consulting and finance jobs—like every type of job out there—can offer meaning and valuable experience to its employees.

Consulting and finance companies offer necessary services to economies and governments, even if their value may be overinflated. Yet the large

onlinecomment What we eat and how we treat our bodies has a direct impact on how we feel and can go so far as to affect the senses, experiences, feelings and responses that define a person.

number of students who go into these jobs is disproportional to the number for whom these jobs are actually the right fit.

If you want to gain experience and the resume that will get you the dream nonprofit job later on, do not add a level of separation by consulting on it—just do it. Right now is the perfect time to take risks and try new things.

For those employees for whom consulting or finance is not the right fit, the time, energy and opportunities that college graduates sink into these jobs are not retrievable. How much would society gain if those graduates had gone directly into their preferred professions?

Looking for the right pathway after graduation is hard. We often times know what we would like to do but finding someone else who is willing to pay us for that takes lots of research, some networking and some exploration. Choosing consulting or finance can seem like the path of least resistance, and for some people, it will be the right career. As the job-hunting frenzy begins among seniors for jobs in consulting and financing, just remember: It’s okay if you do it, but it’s also okay if you don’t.

14 | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

nce I became acclimated to living on campus, accustomed to its unique characteristics and quirks, I made a solemn vow to never in the entirety of my live on Central Campus. It was nothing personal—I just felt strongly that it was a horrible, terrible, miserable place to exist. Within the first few months of freshmen year, I had collected horror stories about the pitfalls of central living—sporadic bat invasions, questionable uninvited intruders and apartments that were both not meant to be permanent fixtures and occasionally flooded.

I held fast to this vow for two strong years, but then, by chance, a spot freed up in my section

many. So in comparison, living in an apartment on Central just seemed so… isolating.

And yet, two weeks before the first day of classes, there I was, moving my belongings into my Central Campus apartment. When I graduate and become a real person, I know I’ll probably end up living in an apartment anyways, but something about still being in college and moving into my very own place seemed so surreal. I had a kitchen! I could cook elaborate meals and bake delicious desserts. I had a living room! I could host guests and host fancy dinner parties and be super classy. I mean, I probably never will because I don’t like people all up in

Michelle Menchaca A WORK IN PROGRESS and I had the opportunity to do what I promised I never would—live on Central Campus. One of the more dubious risks I’ve taken, I decided to go for it, uncertain of how my life would play out in a setting that was neither Gothic Wonderland nor Georgian. I’m actually not sure what architectural category Central falls under—I would say boxy and subtly brick-like.

My strict aversion to apartment living might seem confusing at first, but it merely stems from devout affinity for residential living. To be honest, I think dorms are one of the greatest creations of college living. My favorite part? The bathrooms. I LOVE public bathrooms—they build community.

It’s a public space of forced and uncomfortable interaction. I’ve had countless engaging and invigorating conversations with the people brushing their teeth or showering next to me, often people whom I rarely saw outside of the confines of our hall bathroom, making that one of the few times we could catch up. Plus, I’m a firm believer in the notion that you can’t truly connect another human being until you know what they look like when they first wake up in the morning. It really makes you appreciate that no matter who we are, at some point (usually in the morning) we all look disoriented, disheveled and altogether unprepared for life.

But I wouldn’t get to experience these things if I had my open private bathroom. Not to mention all the other perks that come with living in a dorm—lively common room activity, organic hall bonding stemming from a crippling lack of air conditioning, being forced to leave the room to eat real food. The benefits of communal living are

my living space, but it’s totally an option. And besides these newly expanded options, the Central life in general is completely different.

I loved the lack of privacy of living in the freshmen dorms, where there was always someone around to entertain me and talk to me. But now, I come home after classes and have the option of never leaving if I so choose. I have a roommate, too, also completely different from what I’m used to. I forgot what it was like to have someone notice when I seemingly disappear for days at a time, or to give me looks of disbelief that I legitimately set at least 8 blaring alarms every morning because my body will, without fail, lie lifeless and unresponsive for the first five that go off.

And while I thought I’d hate all of these things, it’s actually kind of amazing. I love having my own living, eating and studying space. I love that I have the choice to be alone and the ability to enjoy that solitude, something that I don’t think was true freshmen or even sophomore year.

That’s not to say it’s perfect. I’ll admit, I had no idea bathtubs had to be cleaned and now that I do I think it’s kind of disgusting. And while Duke undoubtedly has the best campus bus drivers in the country, I will say that as a theoretical concept C-2 buses ruin my life every single day. But, as of now, nothing has gone horribly astray and it’s definitely not the travesty I envisioned.

And so, in a shocking turn of events, I love Central Campus.

Remembering 9/11

“

Teacher, can you explain to me why America killed Osama Bin Laden and Muammar Gaddafi?”

Joseph shouted this out as I finished explaining the connections between the League of Nations and the United Nations in the dilapidated brick structure nestled into the hillside that was our classroom. Nearing the end of my first week in Uganda this past summer, my class, a group of 14-16-year-old students, thought that Friday afternoon would be the proper time to ask me any question they so desired.

When I turned around, they were all surprisingly seated in the four desk benches of the classroom in their multicolored school uniforms staring expectantly at me for an answer.

I was briefly stunned by the direct nature of the

Jay Sullivan HOPE, FOR THE WIN question. I later learned that he had heard about Bin Laden and Gaddafi on the radio during a political program that criticized American involvement abroad. Without much in the way of materials, save some chalk and a broken blackboard, I searched for a way to begin.

However, this question was different than the ones before. The boy who asked it could not have known the emotions such a question could conjure up and how complex the answer could be. I started my response with the first thing I could think of—September 11, 2001.

On the board, I drew three pictures—one of the Twin Towers, another of the Pentagon and the third of a field. While I struggled to explain clearly what each image signified to my students, I was struck by how hard it is to honor and remember such a dark day in American history.

Thinking back to that afternoon in the classroom last week when we marked the 13th anniversary of 9/11, I again tried to think about how to properly honor the legacy and memory of that day, if such a way could even exist.

Like many Duke students from the tri-state area, I distinctly remember the horror and shock of 9/11. Having friends whose parents worked in New York City and living just an hour up I-95 in Connecticut gave the attacks a terrifying reality.

Recognizing the places I was seeing on television and being wholly unable to grasp the scope yet completely able to understand even at the age of seven what was occurring made 9/11 a day I am unable to forget.

Because many of us were still young at the time, it is hard for us to remember life without 9/11, to remember what life used to be like before it happened. Time continues to march on since 9/11, and America’s leadership in the War on Terror has found new faces and enemies.

9/11 was designated a National Day of Service and Remembrance by Congress in 2009, yet that seems an incomplete way of remembering the day. There’s something more to honoring the

memory of 9/11 than simply community service.

My Facebook newsfeed was ripe with images and posts saying “Never Forget” or something of that accord last week yet that also seems an improper way to signify all that 9/11 encompasses.

9/11 should not just be a day of social media posts and clever hashtags nor just the occasional community service opportunity. Those things have their place and contribute to our collective remembrance, but alone they do not sufficiently honor the memory of 9/11. 9/11 should signify something more in the ethos of American culture, something explicitly tied to the values that set our democratic experiment apart. 9/11 should be a reminder of our duty as citizens in a democratic nation, a call for political action.

What I mean by political action requires an understanding of our position as citizens of this nation. The American democratic experiment mandates that its citizens participate in the political process by voting or speaking out against injustices in this nation. We follow a long line of students at Duke who have made their voices heard on issues ranging from the Vietnam War to farmworker rights in North Carolina. That process of activism and change over a period of time, overcoming suppression and animosity as in the Civil Rights Movement, is distinctly American.

There would be no greater way to honor 9/11 than to combine service and activism, unite the things that are distinctly American in practice.

We were attacked on 9/11 because America represents ideals of freedom and human rights.

To uphold those ideals is a challenge that requires our full political participation to hold our elected representatives and government accountable.

We can honor the memory of those we have lost on and since 9/11 by exercising those very same rights we have as citizens to shape the future of this country.

I am not asking everyone to join a picket line to protest low wages or voting rights or to overlook the opportunities to serve our communities through hands-on service. We each have our own calling. However, we must regain our desire to shape the future of our communities and be active in making that vision a reality by combining our civic engagement with political action. Social change has always been achieved in this country through the political process, and even though the cost can be high to achieve that change, it is well worth the sacrifice.

If we fail to make political participation a priority, to speak out against abuses of power or in support of social justice, then we forsake our duty as citizens. There is always a place to start, and perhaps voting in this midterm election can be that place. Our political participation must be something we value if we ever want to see progress in this country on a variety of fronts from education reform to protecting the environment.

My hope is that we make political action a part of our honoring and remembering 9/11 creating a legacy that can last more than one day per year.

Passport control

B

onjour mes amis, I was recently scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed, which takes about 10 hours because I have so many Facebook friends, and I was appalled by what I saw. Normally at this time of year my newsfeed is full of photo albums containing Chapel selfies, weirdly-themed parties, fake smiles at football games and depressing pictures of students inside Perkins (or outside Perkins, which is now equally depressing). Alas, I was shocked to find that the majority of my online friends were abroad based on their pictures of ancient cathedrals, non-Au Bon Pain baguettes and discotheques that make Shooters look like a homeless shelter.

Usually, I wouldn’t care that most of the people I actually have the energy to say hi to all decided to leave the United States in mass exodus. Even though I couldn’t care less what you basics are doing abroad, it was pretty inconsiderate for you to leave because I now have to spend a disproportionate amount of time being around underclassmen—their general incompetence makes me nauseous.

So why is it that so many members of the junior class went abroad? Let me explain. And if you’re abroad while reading this right now, shame on you.

Shouldn’t you be immersed in something--preferably a tub of boiling hot

Monday Monday WITH DISDAIN, YOUR GUARDIAN DEVIL water?

Like all things that don’t make sense at this school, it is the Duke administration’s fault why so many of our precious young future 1 percenters feel the need to GTFO of the United States as if they’re seeking asylum or something. I don’t remember my pre-college days, not because I was like an alcoholic or something, but because my fancy shmancy expensive boarding school kept us in incubators until we were ready to be worth something.

However, as a p-frosh or a high school student, you should remember the onslaught of information that the Duke Global Education Office provided.

“WHO RUN THE WORLD? DUKE,” “NO GERMAN? NO PROBLEM! WE WANT YOUR MONEY ANYWAY,” “LITERALLY BECOME SPANISH AFTER ONE SEMESTER” and “YOU”LL BECOME SO CULTURALLY COMPETENT AND THEN WE WILL BOMBARD YOU WITH EMAILS TILL THE DAY YOU DIE” are just a few of the things that the higher-ups basically ingrain into anyone remotely interested in Duke. Combine this with the fact that Housing, Dining and Residence Life literally cannot accommodate an entire junior class on campus, despite a three-years-on-campus requirement, it becomes obvious that Duke is basically sending subliminal messages that you all need to get on the first flight available overseas.

From my understanding, the rationale behind the university’s support of study abroad programs is that Duke also secretly agrees with the student sentiment that Durham is awful and time spent here should be minimized.

This is a totally valid reason for supporting this and going abroad. You have 8 semesters with Duke in Durham, which are 7 semesters too many because there’s absolutely nothing to do in the area, unless you like restaurants, bars, nature or Chapel Hill. You’ve come here for a world-class education--if you don’t go abroad, you’re failing.

Duke students seem to have different motivations for going abroad. You could be one of those weirdos who are abroad in some country where the exchange rate means that the American dollar can basically buy you an army of child soldiers. I mean, I don’t know what you could possibly learn by going to underdeveloped countries like Brazil, China or Africa. What languages do they speak? I haven’t heard anything about their nightlife. I’m sure those countries have a lot of history or something, but based on my education these histories are probably not important because I’ve learned about the American Revolution about 43 times, but the Indian Independence Movement less than once.

So, if you’re even halfway intelligent, you are in Europe actually getting an education. These are the students who have picked a lucky European country to anchor them as they begin their own booze-filled eurotrip. It doesn’t matter if your program, Duke-affiliated or not, is in Spain, Italy, France, Germany or the U.K. You’re going abroad to see as many places as you can in one semester (read: to get drunk near as many monuments you don’t care about). Besides, based on sheer numbers, it seems like attending Oktoberfest is more of a graduation requirement than a senior thesis or having sex in Duke Gardens.

Studying abroad in Europe gives you the chance to actually learn the language of your host country (learning Mandarin would have been totally out of the question). The Facebook albums of most Duke students have pictures of only other Duke students, which I presume means that in between going to nightclubs, eating nutella and being massively homesick/hungover half the time, you weren’t able to become fluent and your “español no es muy bueno.”

This is why going to the UK is so great for your cultural enhancement—no one expects anything except for massive personal debt and a picture with Big Ben. Honestly, even though Australia is irrelevant (like who cares about the kangaroos?), it is probably the best study abroad destination. It’s just like the United States, but the people are hotter.

Studying abroad is important because it basically gives you the opportunity to screw your academics for a semester under the guise of immersion, which is essentially what the international students do here in Durham all the time.

Remember, there’s one way to have a “truly life-changing experience,” and that’s by leaving Duke.
