ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 25

Training wheels off new bike Pride celebrates 30 years program, Zagster launches Rachel Chason University Editor After a year’s hiatus, bike sharing is officially back on Duke’s campus—albeit taking a different form than it once did.

The new bike borrowing program— which Duke Student Government Presi-

dent Lavanya Sunder, a junior, advocated for and helped develop—is run

by Zagster, a national bike sharing company. The program kicked off Friday with a launch party on the Bryan Center Plaza, a little more than a year after Duke’s previous bike sharing system was cancelled due to low participation. Timothy Ericson, the company’s CEO and co-founder, said he felt Duke’s program is off to a strong start.

“We’ve been very pleased with the response,” Ericson said. “We had dozens of people sign up before we had even officially launched. Since last Friday we’ve had about 150 signups.”

Zagster has a presence in several cities across the country, as well as at peer colleges such as Yale and Cornell Universities. Ericson noted that the program’s implementation process is different at each school. He said that generally, his company looks at a university’s goals and preexisting options to determine how many bikes to start with, and where on campus they should be placed.

At Duke, there are currently 50 bikes set up at four different locations—one at the East Campus bus stop, one at the See Zagster on Page 12

Fed up with hook ups: students debate lackluster dating culture Approximately three quarters of student body wish that they were dating more, says study Jessica Hennacy The Chronicle “If you’re not dating or in a committed relationship, why not?” Gary Glass asked the crowd of Dating at Duke.

The event—which was sponsored Counseling and Psychological Services Monday evening—was intended to spark conversation surrounding the prominent student dissatisfaction surrounding the hookup and dating cultures on campus, noted Glass, associate director for outreach and developmental programming at CAPS.

according to 2012 study “Duke Social Relationships Project” and a 2014 report from Duke Inquiries in Social Relations. “[This discussion will] get us curious about what the implications are as we develop as human beings and go on to the next generation,” Glass said.

It is surprising that Duke has a reputation of being a difficult place to find a relationship since such a significant portion of the student body actively desire romantic relationships, Glass said.

According to the 2014 survey, 67 percent of students never engage in sexual acts outside of a committed relationship—a finding consistent for both men and women. Additionally, 75 percent of respondents reported “hooking up”— defined as consensual kissing or touching—one or fewer times per month. In

Kristen Shortley | The Chronicle North Carolina Pride kicked off its 30th anniversary celebration with its annual parade last Saturday. Blue Devils United, Duke Student Government and Duke Athlete Ally were among several University organizations that participated.

Aleena Karediya Local & National Editor North Carolina Pride celebrated its 30th anniversary with the annual LGBTQ pride parade on East Campus last Saturday.

The theme of this year’s parade was “Refections of Pride—30 Years,” featuring a host of floats, vendors and a 5K run. Over the decades, the parade has been hosted in cities across North Carolina and the Triangle area,

but has been on Duke’s campus since 2001.

Benjamin Reese, vice president of the Office for Institutional Equity, said that the heavy involvement of several groups represents Duke’s commitment to equity and inclusion. “[This shows] our recognition and celebration of the presence of the LGBTQ community,” Reese said. “All of this occurring on East Campus, the home of our first-year students, just serves as part of their orienta-

September headlines: month in review Curriculum changes, new endowment record, ‘bionic eye’ and LGBTQ inclusive application headline Sept.

Kali Shulklapper University Editor Kornbluth presents vision for University in strategic plan, Trinity announces plan to revamp Curriculum 2000 For the first time in nearly a decade, the University is embarking on a strategic planning process. Duke will spend the year “pre-planning,” assessing various areas of focus and potential goals. Provost Sally Kornbluth announced her vision for the plan at a recent Academic Council meeting, saying that she wishes to focus on increasing the scope of research beyond the sciences, as well as invesSally Kornbluth tigating the relationship between co-curriculars, extracurriculars, and the classroom curriculum. She also addressed the engineering curriculum, adding that she wishes to enable more engineers to go abroad more and study areas beyond their engineering requirements. As this strategic planning for the University progresses, changes are taking place on a smaller scale in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, which will begin revamping its curriculum for the first time in a decade. The current curriculum was introduced in 2000 and modified in 2004—before the creation of programs such as DukeEngage, Bass Connections, DukeImmerse and the annual Winter Forum. The revision will allow faculty to consider how these service learning and study abroad opportunities can be integrated into the curriculum, transforming the notion of a “course.” Over the next three years, the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences faculty will engage in revision processes, and faculty will vote on the final edition of the curriculum in 2017.

Duke endowment reaches record high of $7 billion The Duke University endowment reached a record high of $7 billion at the end of the 2013 fiscal year. Managed by DUMAC, an investment group controlled by the University, the endowment stems from a 20.1 percent return on total investments. The year’s return not only resulted in a record high, but also marked the first time that the endowment had recovered to its pre-recession levels. During the economic downturn, the endowment dropped more than 25 percent, following a peak of $6.1 billion in 2008. The endowment’s 2013 returns represent an increase of $1 billion from the 2012 fiscal year and comes after a second consecutive record-breaking year of University fundraising. Under the current capital campaign, Duke Forward, the University earned $441.8 million in philanthropic contributions for the 2013 fiscal year—amassing more than two thirds of the campaign’s $3.25 billion goal with three years still left to go. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, said students should not underestimate the lasting impacts that a strong and growing endowment have on academic and student life. He added that the University’s endowment makes possible Duke’s extensive financial aid options, endowed professorships and programs such as DukeEngage.

Duke surgeon implants N.C.’s first ‘bionic eye’ Dr. Paul Hahn, eye surgeon at the Duke Eye Center, treated patient Larry Hester with the first bionic eye in state history. Research for the technology originated at Duke and has been occurring for over 20 years. The bionic eye—known as Argus—has two separate physical parts. The external part is a special pair of glasses with a video camera in the middle. The camera is connected to a small computer that the patient wears on their belt or in their pocketbook. The internal part of the device is a surgically implanted coil or “antenna” that goes around the eye to a microchip surgically implanted on the surface of the retina. Although the technology does not allow patients to drive, read, or even recognize faces, it produces flashes of light that correspond to events going on around the patient and the improvement is profound for someone who has no vision at all. Patients with this type of device are able to distinguish pathways as well as the movements of surrounding people and the placement of specific items, providing them greater tools for navigation and identification. Hahn said future generations of the device will provide a better level of vision in the future.

Duke adds LGBTQ-inclusive question to application Duke recently made history with the addition of a new LGBTQ-inclusive question on its admissions supplement, becoming the first school using the Common Application to explicitly mention sexual orientation and gender identity. Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said the question speaks directly to Duke’s commitment to a wide range of diversity. The question is the growth of an initiative called the EqUALS Project—Equitable Undergraduate Admissions for LGBTQ Students—a collaborative effort between Blue Devils United and the admissions office. President of BDU Daniel Kort, a senior, and Janie Long—associate vice provost for undergraduate education and former director of Duke’s Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity—originally proposed a checkbox that would allow applicants to identify their sexual identity as female, male, intersex, transsexual or other, and their sexual orientation as heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer, questioning or other. The proposed checkboxes were not accepted and the new application instead includes an optional 250-word prompt that tells students, “Share a perspective you bring or experiences you’ve had to help us understand you better,” such as a community they belong to or their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Duke Student Government Senate passed a resolution encouraging evaluation of this question at their meeting Sept. 3. The resolution—co-sponsored by Kort and junior Keizra Mecklai, vice president of equity and outreach—recommends that the University establish a committee to evaluate the effectiveness of the question during the admission year of 2014-15. If the committee determines that it is not effective toward meeting the needs of LGBTQ prospective students, the committee will seek other means of LGBTQ inclusivity in application questions, such as the use of checkboxes.

Sushi Love considered for Merchants-on-Points spot After considering Chubby’s Tacos and Heavenly Buffaloes, DUSDAC looks to Sushi Love Tim Bai The Chronicle Sushi Love is the new frontrunner to become the latest vendor added to the Merchants-on-Points program.

At the Monday meeting of the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, representatives from Sushi Love and Campus Enterprises discussed the logistics of including the restaurant in MOP. Following the departure of Pizza Mia from the program, DUSDAC began looking for another restaurant to fill its place. Co-chair Brian Taylor said the committee has already considered other options such as Chubby’s Tacos and Heavenly Buffaloes.

“Our frontrunner right now is Sushi Love along with Campus Enterprises,” Taylor, a junior, said. “We’re looking to see if students will like it, if they can order it and if it already fills a need or duplicates an option already available on Merchants-on-Points.”

According to online research conducted by sophomores Colin Power and Kevin Hatch, directors of restaurants for Campus Enterprises, students revealed a high interest for sushi delivery on food points, as well as a preference for Sushi Love over other sushi restaurants like Mount Fuji and Vine Sushi.

Campus Enterprises, which currently manages deliveries for Hungry Leaf,

Food Factory and TGI Friday’s, will be providing the delivery service exclusively online via Radoozle. Power said that online ordering will make the process much more streamlined than the delivery service that Sushi Love implemented several years ago.

“If we have [students] calling the front desk, it’s really inefficient and wastes time because the orders are placed at the front desk, prices are calculated and then the handwritten order is given to the chefs in the kitchen,” Power said. “Radoozle helps calculate pricing and shows chefs all the orders, which reduces wait time.”

Sushi Love Owner Janejira Thongphai said Duke students frequently ask if Sushi Love delivers or accepts food points.

Thongphai said if included on MOP, their delivery service could serve many different students with a variety of foods that include stir fry, vegetarian rolls and cooked sushi.

“We’ve been in business since 2009, and 60 to 70 percent of our customers are Duke students,” Thongphai said. “I think it’s a great opportunity to provide for [them].”

DUSDAC members raised several concerns over the addition of Sushi Love, one of which included the delivery wait times and hours for the restaurant.

Hatch said students would receive notification from Campus Enterprises if the orders are backed up for a night, and that delivery times would usually take less than 40 minutes. He added that Campus Enterprises would be able to hire more drivers based on volume of orders during hours of operation, which are currently slated from 5 to 10 p.m. on business days.

Alex Deckey | The Chronicle DUSDAC members sampled sushi from potential MOP vendor Sushi Love at their meeting Monday evening.

“The highest volume of orders is often after class,” Hatch said. “We considered lunchtime delivery for the future, but we decided the optimal way to start is with these hours.”

Other concerns included the high pricing versus quality of sushi, perishability of sushi for delivery, staffing at See DUSDAC on Page 12

tion to a place that continually strives to be inclusive within the Duke community, as well as in our engagement with Durham.”

To celebrate the 30th anniversary, Pride featured a weekend-long slate of events across the Triangle, including discussions, parties and performances. This year’s parade had strong commercial and local support, with 60 vehicles, 110 marching groups and 13 floats—significant growth from Pride’s first year on Duke’s campus in 2001, when there was only one float.

A number of organizations represented Duke, including Blue Devils United, Duke Student Government and Duke Athlete Ally. The parade comes in the wake of several highprofile moves for Duke’s LGBTQ community—the grand opening of the Queering Duke’s History in Perkins Library, which examines Duke’s treatment of LGBTQ students in past years, and the announcement that the Duke supplement on the Common Application will feature an optional LGBTQinclusive question. Additionally, this Fall marks the first time that gender-neutral housing is available to all undergraduate students, with the program expanding to freshmen on East Campus.

Freshman attendance in particular was large at the Parade this year. BDU and DSG co-hosted a pre-party on the East Campus Quadrangle the morning of the parade. This new program was geared towards encouraging more students to attend the parade, especially freshmen. BDU President Daniel Kort, a senior, said that Pride’s proximity to East Campus is as much of a positive for freshmen as it is for the organization.

“Hosting the statewide celebration of Pride around East Campus presents the perfect opportunity for new students to engage with the cultural treasures of Durham, including its vibrant LGBTQ community,” Kort said.

The Pride parade and the accompanying celebrations were the protest sites for various issues of gay rights in state courts—particularly the recently filed Gerber v. Cooper, which seeks North Carolina’s recognition of same-sex marriages that were established in other states and provinces.

Barry Garner, a Durham resident who participated in Pride, said that Pride’s role as a discussion space shouldn’t be undermined.

“Pride is the place that I’ve had the most meaningful conversations about issues like [Gerber v. Cooper],” he said. “It’s a strange combination of celebration and discussion that brings up great debates.”

Despite this, Garner said that Pride was a great way for newcomers to become acquainted with LGBTQ life at Duke and in the larger Durham community.

“Anyone at Duke, especially the freshmen who haven’t had much exposure to Durham, can appreciate the vibrant environment that Pride brings out. It’s a perfect way to get to know us.”

Moseley looks to be star in the making Scoping out the sidelines

“The level of club soccer is good and all, but it’s got nothing on college soccer,” Moseley said. “The pace, the power, the intensity, the mental aspect of the college game is just a whole other level.”

Along with the physical transition from club to college competition, the freshman was also tasked with making the transition from a Concorde Fire forward to a Blue Devil midfielder.

“I came in as a forward, but a couple weeks before the preseason, Coach emailed me and just talked to me about thinking about playing left mid,” Moseley said. “So I studied up on the position. I watched game after game of showing left mids... and I couldn’t get the hang of it. But once I got to Duke, they really helped me… and I think I’m starting really getting the hang of it now.”

When it came to adjusting to the college game, Moseley named team captain Sean Davis as the biggest aid to his development as a player since arriving at Duke. But Davis has been a role model for the young star for years, dating back to the freshman’s high school days. “[Davis] was definitely the one guy that got me to commit to Duke. He is just the most amazing soccer player I’ve ever played with,” Moseley said. “It’s almost as if he’s from

The NFL regular season is finally in full swing. Fans everywhere have now had their first few weekends filled with excitement and outrage as their favorite players get into the starting lineup, get injured or get benched.

Everyone knows what it looks like to play on the field—that’s what the cameras are following, and it’s the whole point of the game. But what does it mean to get benched? What are the sideline sitters really up to for the fourplus hours they’re in the stadium? What else does the sideline do besides provide a temporary home for these resting players?

Obviously, some athletes only work the bench part-time. Teams carry secondand third- string players at nearly every position, allowing for the constant rotation of players from one play to the next. But what about Colin Kapernick’s backup’s backup—Josh Johnson—who has played in three games in as many years? Surely he’s doing something to earn his six-figure-minimum paycheck.

One benchwarmer job is crucial.

When a big name comes off the field with a full bladder, there just isn’t enough time to get to the locker room and back—what if they’re needed on the field? The solution is simple. Get the benchwarmers to hold up towels and look uninteresting while the wide receiver relieves himself between snaps.

The consequences of forgetting to shield a peeing player can be dire. San Diego kicker Nick Novak’s missed field goal in a loss to the Broncos was more or less drowned in the flood of questions regarding his use of the sideline as a restroom. Video evidence shows that only one manager was there to hold up a towel, leaving three sides open to the prying media.

Even though Novak admitted to going twice or three times per game, this still leaves a great deal of downtime for the players who aren’t playing. In today’s society, the average man in his 20’s or 30’s would be tempted to spend any down time on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. This is true for many NFL players, evinced by some athletes’ highly entertaining social media feeds—for instance, Aaron Rodgers’ Twitter feed— but the NFL makes it a point to keep players offline.

NFL policy prohibits its players from

Jesús Hidalgo | The Chronicle Freshman Cameron Moseley leads the Blue Devils in goals scored with five this season, including the game-winning header against thenNo. 1 North Carolina.

Scott Lee Staff Writer With just nine minutes left against heated rival North Carolina and the game tied at one, Blue Devil senior captain Sean Davis controlled the ball and lifted a pass toward the goal.

Freshman Cameron Moseley came streaking in toward the right goalpost and headed home Davis’ cross to complete the comeback and secure the biggest upset in recent history, as Duke knocked off the No. 1 Tar Heels 2-1. With the goal, Moseley cemented his spot as the Blue Devils’ newest young star and left many wondering where the standout rookie came from.

“As the ball crossed the 18-yard box, I just dove and essentially closed my eyes. The next thing I know, the crowd is cheering and the ball is in the goal,” Moseley said.

The freshman phenom left midfielder has been a revelation of sorts for Duke this year.

He’s played less than half a season, but he’s already notched a signature Austin-Riversbuzzer-beater-type moment. Moseley not only leads the team in scoring but is currently second in the ACC with five goals.

The success may come as a surprise to those who have not heard Moseley’s name before, but the Duluth, Ga., native has been a standout on the pitch from a young

age. At Woodward Academy, Moseley led his squad to the 2012 Georgia AAA State Championship. But the success did not stop on the high school field.

Moseley played forward for most of his club career with the Concorde Fire, a U.S. Soccer Development Academy in Georgia.

He led the team in scoring in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Then the letters started rolling in. But as Moseley is quick to point out, it was the first letter that left the deepest impression.

“Duke was the first school to kind of reach out to me. I reached out to the other schools, like Stanford, UCLA and UVA and I got a little contact from them,” Moseley said. “But Coach Kerr reached out to my coach, who contacted me, and I was really flattered by that and so he asked me to come take a visit in February of my sophomore year. So I did, and I never felt more at home. As soon as I left, I got the scholarship offer and I was like, ‘This is where I want to be.’ I cancelled all my other visits and two days later, I committed.

Duke was home. It felt right.”

To prep for his first season of collegiate soccer, Moseley supplemented the summer workouts his coaches sent him with personalized workouts his dad made for him.

He ran miles week after week while looking to improve his Cooper Test—running two miles in fewer than 12 minutes—to get into the best shape of his life.

Cross Country

Engel brings new perspective in first year at the helm Ali Wells Beat Writer Heading into the first meets of the 2013 season, the Blue Devils were at the top of the Southeast regional poll and in the top five in the national poll. But Duke did not live up to those expectations.

Plagued by illness, injury and the weight of those rankings on their shoulders, they were not able to qualify for the NCAA Championships.

Weary of goals and expectations for this year, the squad had diminished confidence as the fall season approached, still burdened by last year’s disappointment.

But a late hire just before the team returned to school may have been just what the Blue Devils needed.

Coming on as head women’s cross country coach in early August, Christine Engel hoped that her positive energy and sincere love of the sport would give Duke the fresh start it needs.

“I feel like I have the greatest job in the world to still be a part of this sport and do this every day,” Engel said. “The sport of track and cross country was such a huge part of my life growing up. It was something I was always very passionate about. After college, I worked in the business world for a while but found that I wasn’t as passionate about that as I was this sport.”

Engel had served as the men’s and women’s head coach at Elon for the past six years, leading the women’s squad to a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Southeast Regionals in 2013—the highest finish in school history. The Phoenix placed second at last year’s Southern Conference Championships with five runners earning all-conference honors at the competition.

Prior to her time at Elon, Engel was an assistant coach at Columbia University

SPORTS Special to The Chronicle Duke head coach Christine Engel and the Blue Devils will try to reclaim their spot among the nation’s elite cross country programs one step at a time.

and also coached the Impala Racing Team—an all-women’s club team— helping to qualify six runners for the 2008 Olympic trials in the marathon. An experienced athlete in her own right, Engel earned her place on Clemson’s Athletic Wall of Fame as a standout track performer.

Putting in 15-hour days to prepare for the runners’ arrival, Engel worked hard to get her plans for the season in order.

Almost as soon as the team arrived, she took them to Blowing Rock, N.C., for a much-needed opportunity to get to know the athletes and see how she could fit into the squad’s team chemistry.

“It was the perfect opportunity for me as a new coach to be immersed in the team,” Engel said. “Anytime you are off-campus spending 24 hours a day together, you almost instantly connect.”

Engel’s biggest challenge has been

getting the team healthy again. Focusing on athletes who had suffered injuries or were only able to practice intermittently, she has devoted the first two months of the season to getting the team back into running form. But getting her athletes healthy from a training perspective was only half the battle.

The team’s confidence and attitude has changed in just two short months since the beginning of the preseason.

Engel attributes much of this new team positivity to her emphasis on communication with her athletes and effort to foster open conversation.

And the conversation has not shied away from setting goals.

Coaching at a program so close to Duke and attending many of the same meets, Engel saw the team struggle with the high expectations. Sensitive to the team’s battered confidence returning from summer vacation, she focused on setting daily goals.

“Initially they were apprehensive about what we could achieve this season, so at the beginning it was just focusing on the process goals and getting better each day,” Engel said. “With a month under their belts, we are still focusing on the process goals but also recognizing that it is okay to set outcome goals.”

With Engel’s guidance, the team has set realistic goals for the end of the season. Looking to qualify for the national championships in November, the team will aim to improve upon last year’s fifth-place finish at the ACC Championships and fourth-place performance at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships. Throughout the season, the Blue Devils hope to earn points towards an NCAA Championship berth by posting strong performances at regular season meets.

Blue Devils set to host Appalachian State Philip Coons Staff Writer

Koskinen Stadium has provided that special winning formula for the Blue Devils this season. The atmosphere has been electric in Durham after the last two home ACC wins against North Carolina and Boston College.

App After beating the State vs.

Eagles at home this past Friday 1-0, the Duke Blue Devils have their second match in a row Tuesday, 7 p.m. at Koskinen Stadium Koskinen Stadium against Appalachian State, Tuesday at 7 p.m. The story of the season has been the team’s success at home, with an unbeaten 4-0-1 record at home and an 0-3 record away from Koskinen Stadium.

This portends success against Appalachian State tomorrow night as the Blue Devils will take a break their difficult ACC schedule.

Head coach John Kerr believes that their win against the then-No. 1 Tar Heels gives

them the confidence to go and compete for an ACC championship and possibly even a national title. “[The win] gave us confidence that we could compete with the best and beat the best,” Kerr said. “That gives us a lot of food for thought that we can play with anybody in this country.”

Duke’s (4-3-1, 2-1 in the ACC) highoctane offense is led by senior Sean Davis and freshman Cameron Moseley, but its defense will be looked on to contain a high-scoring Appalachian State offensive unit Tuesday.

Senior defensemen Nat Eggleston and Jack Colemen will look to lead a Blue Devil back line that has only given up more than three goals once this season—a 5-0 loss to thenNo. 5 Louisville. Senior Nick Palodichuck, who scored the game winner versus Boston College, will help take the defensive pressure off of Moseley and Davis, who have combined for 18 total points on six goals and six assists thus far.

SIDELINES

continued from page 6 partaking in social media beginning 90 minutes prior to the game until after post-game media interviews.

An exception is for the Pro Bowl, when players are not only allowed but encouraged to tweet during the game using #ProBowl, presumably to get anyone to actually watch the Pro Bowl.

So maybe players in a regular season game aren’t tweeting, but they might be snacking. Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has enjoyed Skittles—or power pellets, as his mom calls them—on the sideline of every game since his middle school days. The discovery of Lynch’s sideline Skittles easily upstaged Seattle’s 7-9 non-qualifying 2011-2012 season and has since led to his role as Skittles spokesman.

Unique candy-eating superstitions aside, some rituals extend across the league. Athletes will probably always tell you they’d prefer to play with their own— broken in, familiar—game ball instead of a brand new one. Ideally, every quarterback and kicker could break in a ball and use it for the whole game, and yet more than 100 balls are put into play throughout the course of the average NFL contest. So how does a star quarterback like New York Giants’ Eli Manning ensure familiarity for every snap? The answer can be found on sideline.

Somewhere along the bench of every team there is a box containing anywhere from 30-50 specifically tabled game balls, brushed and watered down to fit the quarterback or kicker’s pre-determined needs. To avoid sabotage, the containers aren’t openly labeled, and only the equipment director knows which ball to put into play.

Although at first this doesn’t seem like too great a challenge, for some equipment directors like Manning’s, the right ball isn’t just broken in: “You want it to feel like it’s been in your house for 10 years, where you’ve been playing Saturday afternoon

games with it for a long time,” Manning said in a New York Times report.

Another exciting addition to sideline equipment is the latest form of booth-to-field communication, initially accomplished via Polaroid pictures clipped to clothesline strung from the booth to the field. The explanation was that a Polaroid picture would develop in the time it took for the photo to reach the field from being taken in the booth. This season, Microsoft Tablets will be present on every sideline, providing up-to-date statistics and pictures instantaneously. The tablets are restricted to an NFL-owned, closed wireless network to ensure optimal privacy and are the first technological alternative to drawn-out diagrams and Polaroids.

So after considering third-string benchwarmers, designated bathroom patches, candy shipments, star players snacking on aforementioned candy shipments, a hidden supply of manicured game balls and the latest tablet technology now cluttering the sideline, you still aren’t done assessing the sideline.

A team’s coaches and trainers—totaling between 15 and 20 individuals per team—are required to remain within the designated 32-yard zone for team personnel.

After several instances of tripping and on-field interference from coaches, the league has emphasized the role of every team’s “get-back” coach, an employee whose entire job description is to tell personnel to— yes, you guessed it—get back and stay back.

Having only scratched the surface of the sidelines, at this point it seems reasonable to argue that there is more going on outside the lines than on the field itself.

At the line of scrimmage, there are 22 men performing the ordinary ritual of a football game, while the sidelines are alive with peeing players and con-artist coaches—I’m looking at you, Mike Tomlin.

So the next time you get bored watching your team get killed, see if you can spot your kicker taking a quick sideline leak or your favorite wide receiver breaking out the chocolate-covered power pretzels.

MOSELEY

continued from page 6 another planet. I just try to emulate my play after him, as does everyone else on the team because he leads by example.”

Although one look at the stat sheet seems to confirm the obvious, the humble Georgian dismissed any notions that he is a star yet. Despite his goal-scoring prowess and all-around skill, the midfielder only had high praise and thanks for the others on the team and his coaches for helping him get to where he is today.

“I’m definitely not a star,” Moseley said. “My goals have been the products of other players’ brilliant plays. I’ve just been truly blessed to have such a great start to my freshman season. I can’t thank my teammates and coaches enough for having the faith in me, because the first few games, my confidence was extremely low. I got injured and had to play myself back into the starting lineup, but all my teammates, my coaches, my friends, pushed me and encouraged me and I’m not a star. The team is the star, in and of itself.”

Off the field, the first-year intends to graduate with a degree in economics. Although a soccer career isn’t out of the question, he’s kept an open mind about the future.

“Going pro would be very nice, but I want to be realistic.

That’s why I want to get my degree,” Moseley said. “If soccer wasn’t to work out, I’d definitely want to work on Wall Street. My dad did—he worked for Bank of America. That’s definitely something I’d want to do… At this point, I’m still weighing my options.”

The 19-year old is also a part of Duke Cru and attends church as often as he can. He’s a self-proclaimed bibliophile, reading everything from mainstream fantasy, like “Harry Potter”, to the classics, like “Dante’s Inferno.” Despite missing the home-cooked meals back in Duluth, he said that the best thing about Duke was the sense of family around campus.

Although it’s too early to gauge what Moseley could do for the Blue Devils in the postseason, he’s already just five points away from surpassing last year’s season-high set by then-freshman Brody Huitema. And though he’d likely never admit it, Moseley’s well on his way to becoming the face of Duke soccer.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Blue Devils will have to be strong defensively to contain Appalachian State senior striker Stanley Broaden, who leads the team with five goals at this point in the season.

The Wilmington, N.C., native will look to find holes in a Blue Devils defense that has not been too forgiving this year.

“We have to prepare ourselves professionally to try and prevent [Broaden] from getting the ball number one,” Kerr said. “And if he does get it to have cover and balance behind.”

After starting 0-2, Appalachian State (3-41) has gone 3-1 with the only loss to Radford in overtime. The Mountaineers are coming in on a hot streak and will look to spoil Duke’s string of marquee home wins.

“They are a good team. They are dangerous,” Kerr said. “They have couple guys upfront that are creative and fast and [Broaden] in particular is very athletic. They like to play a high tempo [offense]. So for example, when they play free kicks they like to play it early and when they throw [the ball] in on the sideline they will try to catch you off guard. So we need to be on our toes the whole time.”

Appalachian State junior midfielders Alex Herbst and Keegan Tanaka will look to stretch the field and create opportunities for Broaden and teammates. It will be a good test for a Blue Devils defense that let up 10 shotson-goal against North Carolina in the first half alone. Challenging the Duke offense will be Mountaineer redshirt junior goalkeeper Paul West, who has started all eight games and has sudoku_446A a save percentage of .690.

Enter the Duke Campus Farm: once a field used for harvesting tobacco, the Duke Campus Farm has been converted to a multi-crop facility that supports indigo, peanut, cotton and field corn production. This humble farm is responsible for the production of a significant amount of food that comes through Duke, and it’s located only a few minutes from campus.

Since its establishment in 2011, the farm has gradually grown and transformed, taking on new projects as well as a new infrastructure.

The Board would like to commend the Duke Campus Farm for its effort to bring food sustainability to Duke. The numbers show that

ulnerability. It’s a term overused but under practiced. Ever since we can remember, we’ve been taught to be on our best behavior in public. We feel societal pressure to avoid certain questions in conversation. We cautiously navigate the line between being “real” and vulnerable–we want to be authentic but not too authentic to show weakness. Duke is a school where our shared experiences are limited to our time on campus. Unfortunately, this means that we have plenty of productive friendships in which we do things together, but deep friendships in which we are fully known are scarce.

Many people I consider friends–we sit together in class, attend social events together–but I could not tell you a meaningful fact about their lives. We Duke students are professionals at staying busy, but how often do we sit down and simply get to know our friends?

Thao Nguyen BREAKING DOWN WALLS Two weekends ago, I flew back to Waco, Texas, for a conference. The weather was so warm then, so I dressed in shorts and a shortsleeved shirt, forgetting that planes are airconditioned. As I sat on the plane furiously shivering and attempting to sleep to forget the cold, I saw out of the corner of my eye the man next to me taking off his jacket. “It’s so cold, why is he taking off his jacket?” I wondered.

Then he began emptying his jacket pockets.

Interesting, I thought. As I glanced over one last time before trying again to fall asleep, he looked back at me and offered me his jacket.

This man’s actions appear insignificant, but under the warmth of his jacket, I was absolutely stunned. I could not remember the last time a stranger offered me something on his own initiative. I don’t know if anyone is like me, but when I sit anywhere in close proximity with a stranger, like on a plane, I feel pressured to look straight ahead and not make eye contact.

I feel as if I am intruding on someone’s privacy if I do. This man, however, looked at me long enough to see a need and was bold enough to meet this need.

I could have rejected his offer and would have been miserable the rest of the flight. Sometimes, we just need to realize that the reason we are surrounded by people is because we were never meant to figure out life on our own.

People are three-dimensional. There are some Duke students right now who are struggling emotionally, socially or spiritually, but we’ll never know it unless we make the effort. Surface-level and skin-deep friendships are fun in the moment, but we need to get under people’s skins if we want to make life-long comrades. It’s a beautiful, painful, worthwhile journey. As for me, I’ve committed to myself that for the rest of my time at Duke, I will know the people around me. I will know when my friends experience depression, loneliness, fear and I will walk with them in the process.

I invite you all on this journey with me. Let’s run Counseling and Psychological Services out of business with the way we support our fellow classmates on this campus.

few weeks ago, I participated in the procession for Founder’s Day Convocation. Processing is simple—you just walk in with a group of distinguished looking robed and hooded and hatted people while the Chapel’s organ makes you feel important.

If you have yet to graduate, the costume for the procession is the classic graduation cap and gown. I have yet to graduate, but the days while that statement remains true are dwindling. I spent the ceremony sitting uncomfortably, the cap’s tassel tickling the back of my neck. “The outfit means nothing,” I told myself. “You have plenty of time.”

With significant relief, I went back to the gown rental station after the ceremony and attempted to unburden myself of the weighty clothing.

But it was not to be. “Just keep it!” the woman in charge cheerily insisted. “You’ll be needing it again soon anyway!”

Generally, we’ve just experienced four years of getting less sexually desirable, whereas men have experienced the opposite trend. We all know about the ideal Freshman Girl and Senior Guy. It’s a microcosm of what’s about to happen in our lives.

Women in their young twenties will always be the traditional objects of sexual attraction. Men’s attractiveness to the outside world will often increase as their power does. But we peak now. This is our time.

And if we want to have kids but don’t necessarily feel a rush to date seriously and think actively about eventual marriage, the biological clock starts ticking too.

It all reinforces this idea that time is the enemy, that life has a trajectory and that trajectory begins steeply trending down...in seven months.

The robe is staring at me. The robe is ominous.

And I’m tired of it. So today, I’m making a decision.

I’m fine with the fact that the robe is terrifying.

he plane, Ryanair flight 5465 from Brussels to Madrid, landed at 11:40 p.m., and I was on the Metro by midnight and in my apartment by 1:30 a.m. Monday morning. I had a presentation that needed research, a memo on the male-female salary gap that needed an additional source, this column to write and a box of Belgian chocolates to stress-eat. Knowing I had to be out of the house by 8:04 a.m., I got on Facebook, ate a delicious praline, half-heartedly wrote down some facts about Federico García Lorca’s early life and writing career, struggled to draft an introduction to my column (be glad you don’t have to read the first one) and fell into bed around half-past three. People told me my time abroad would be relaxing.

Transcontinental flights are not solely responsible for my late nights, however--my penchant for procrastination lives on no matter the time zone in which my assignments are due.

Nothing makes me write a paper like two cans of Red Bull, a secluded alcove in Perkins and a sense of impending doom, and my productivity peaks between when Penn Pavilion

BRAVE NEW WORLD

THE STRUGGLE

And I replied, without considering my words, surely sounding a bit manic. “Can you please take it back?”

She looked at me like I was having a psychotic break. I tried to explain. “It’s just—it’s a graduation robe. It’s scary. I can’t have it staring at me from my closet all year…”

She was unsurprisingly unsympathetic. “Put it in your friend’s closet?” she suggested, turning to help the next hopeful returner.

And so the robe made the walk back to Keohane with me. Even now, I can see the looming black specter hanging in my closet from my bed. I feel like I can see it even in the dark before I go to sleep. 7 months, it whispers.

7 months until there’s no longer such a thing as food points. 7 months until I get asked to make my first alumni donation. 7 months until I face, for the first time in my entire life, a future I cannot begin to predict.

My younger brother is a first-year in college. Before he left, I kept hearing people tell him that college will be the best four years of his life. What I heard was that the rest of my life, stretching out in front of me, is a guaranteed downgrade. Things get pretty miserable from here, they all seemed to imply.

It’s a cultural understanding, by now—we all know that youth is something you take for granted and then spend the rest of your life chasing. Youth, we’ve so often been told, is wasted on the young.

Recent graduates look at me with trauma-stricken eyes. “Enjoy it while it lasts,” they say, seeming to consider just how much of my blissful ignorance to preserve.

All told, there’s this sense of impending doom.

And while we all experience it, I do think it’s worse for women.

Stepping into such enormous unknown is scary, and it should be. I expect it to be.

But the prospect should be tinged with exhilaration, not doom. After we graduate, most of us really only need to scrounge up enough money to pay for shelter and food—and perhaps student loans. These costs are not so steep. If we ever really need money, there are a number of lucrative options available to us in a pinch simply by merit of being Duke graduates. We’re not going to starve.

Our obligations…barely exist. We can do whatever we want. We are some of the luckiest people on the entire planet. We have miles and miles of open doors and no particular requirement to choose any single one of them, no matter how much we or society or our parents may convince us otherwise. We have incredible friends and experiences already, and we just need to keep seeking them. It’s not actually that hard. In fact, I’m considering lately that it may even wind up being kind of fun.

The hot topic amongst my mother’s circle of friends lately is “aging gracefully.” To age gracefully is to stop fetishizing youth and instead embrace change and evolution. It’s to focus not on what different stages of life require giving up but instead on what they allow you to gain. It’s not to spend time mentally ranking life phases.

One day, as I heard them talking, it occurred to me--aging gracefully starts today, coming to terms not with wrinkles and hot flashes and grey hair but with utility bills and long commutes and cooking classes.

It starts with coming to terms with that damn robe.

It may not happen today or even tomorrow. But hey— we still have 7 months.

closes and Jimmy John’s stops delivering. As I sit in the library surrounded by a sea of empty espresso cups and Domino’s Pizza boxes, I pinch myself to stay awake and read over my assignment one last time before sending it to my professor.

“It’s [insert day of the week],” I murmur to myself. “You can take a nap after Economics lecture, bail on that pregame and go to bed early tomorrow.”

But then I don’t. For the duration of my time as a college student, only illnesses worthy of a visit to Student Health have inspired me to deliberately sleep the recommended eight hours. Nights ending with me slouching from Perkins to McDonald’s for a 3 a.m. fourth meal to celebrate the end of a problem set bleed into nights ending with me strolling from Shooters to Cosmic, once again at 3 a.m. Invitations out initially garner a response along the lines of “sorry, I’m totally exhausted” but mix with peer pressure to become “okay, fine, just let me get some coffee in my system.” Call it spinelessness, call it FOMO or call it a work hard, play hard attitude, but something makes the memory foam-enhanced comfort of my bed less welcoming than even Central Campus at nighttime.

Just as I am rarely alone at Duke when waiting for my nightly hit of caffeine, I cannot be the only one not getting my daily dose of vitamin zzz. According to one university’s counseling and psychological services website, we sleep an average of two hours less than our parents did three decades ago, and the typical student does not get the recommended 7 to 8 hours of nightly rest, leaving him or her tired from the day’s onset. It may be linked to everything from improved cognitive functioning to reduced anxiety, but sleep is far from the new black.

While everyone from our parents to the True Blue crew is all but tucking us in with our stuffed animals each night, we continue to pull all-nighters in CIEMAS, binge-watch “House of Cards” and postgame until sunrise. Why? To me, at least, sleep so often seems like a waste of time. Resident physicians tell us about their grueling work weeks, while techies mention their most recent round of all-night preparations for a big pitch competition. Even a recent staff editorial from The Chronicle cheerfully told incoming first-year students, “you will not sleep for the next four years, and O-Week is a great indoctrination to this fascinatingly frustrating way of life.” Imagine any one of those entities promoting alcohol abuse or fast food binging as a sustainable, beneficial habit. Responses would be incredulous at best, yet sleep deprivation’s cult of personality lives on like the zombies that it turns us into.

We may be young and beautiful and capable of acing midterm exams after only two nights of studying, but our luck will run out eventually. At the end of each semester, I crash like a Zagster rider en route to Shooters for a week, leaving my bed only if I lose the Wi-Fi signal. This semester, though, will be different--just this past weekend, I went to bed upon beginning to feel tired. Granted, it was 1 a.m., and Brusselaars are apparently notorious for their tame nights, but eight hours later I woke up shockingly refreshed and ready to deal with anything a foreign city could throw my way. It was a start.

Common knowledge tells us that no one ever regretted not sleeping, but it also once told us that Aristocrat is quality liquor.

Thus, I challenge you to pause for a moment the next time you want to burn off some midterms-induced stress at a rager and consider snoozing a bit longer than usual. Sometimes turning down can be just as rewarding as turning up.

Ericson said Zagster will monitor bike use and make any adjustments to the program as needed. The company will continue to work with DSG and the administration to promote awareness about the bike service, he added.

“It’s hard to predict participation at this early stage,” Ericson said. “We’ll know more in the coming weeks as people start using the bikes. One of the best ways to drive awareness is simply people riding the bikes.”

Students interested in registering for the bike program can do so on the Zagster website or a mobile app.

They will be charged an annual $20 membership fee that will cover the first three hours of any ride. Each hour beyond that will cost $2, which will be pulled from a separate account that students can set up. The money can be refunded if it is not used.

The previous bike sharing system, known as the Duke Bikes Program, was canceled in August 2013. Originally housed in West Union, the program was moved to the Arts Annex to accommodate the current renovations to the Union. After relocating, the program’s popularity decreased, and University Center Activities and Events decided to stop funding the program.

The cost of implementing Zagster is estimated to be approximately $60,000. Funding comes from a number of administrators—including Vice President of Administration Kyle Cavanaugh, former provost Peter Lange, Vice President of Student Affairs Larry Moneta and Executive Vice President Tallman Trask—as well as a contribution from DSG.

Hatch said prices will remain within range of restaurant prices, although the buy-one-get-one-free option for sushi rolls would not be available through delivery orders. Moreover, Hatch noted that the owners will advertise the exclusivity of online ordering for delivery on their menus, flyers and social media to ensure that students do not call in by mistake.

Thongphai added that they will be able to keep their hot and cold rolls fresh in the appropriate containers for delivery and hire appropriate numbers of chefs to make sure the orders are filled quickly.

“We’re going to manage and make sure we have enough staff to make food right on time,” Thongphai said.

Taylor said the committee would vote later over email as to whether or not they would recommend Sushi Love as an addition to the program.

Student Health Dietitian Clinician Toni Ann Apadula announced that Vegetarian Awareness month will be held in October, with hummus-tasting and vegan awareness being sponsored by Dining and Student Health in coming months. Apadula said that pamphlets for healthy dining options available on campus will be circulated in the coming weeks.
