ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 89

Light rail: ‘complex, but it’s doable’ Sarah Kerman The Chronicle Though plenty of construction and logistical questions remain for the DurhamOrange Light Rail Line, city leaders are optimistic about the project’s future. The light rail was proposed in 2013 and is looking at a tentative completion date of 2025 or 2026. With plans currently under development, the project is projected to cost more than $1 billion and will be funded through a mixture of federal, state and local dollars. In his recent visit to Durham, United States Transportation Secretary Anthony Anthony Foxx Foxx praised Durham’s light rail transit project as an example of the future of American transportation. “Projects like the Durham-Orange Light Rail Line will connect Americans to opportunity by improving access to jobs and education while helping to spur economic development in growing communities like Durham, Chapel Hill and across the country,” Foxx—who was the mayor of Charlotte, N.C. from 2009 to 2013—said while in Durham Feb. 19. The Durham-Orange Light Rail Line, proposed in 2013, will extend 17.1 miles, spanning from Chapel Hill through Durham. The route, which would take 39 minutes to

Neelesh Moorthy The Chronicle After struggling to balance academic and athletic workloads as a student, alum Zach Maurides—a former Duke football player—has created a mobile application designed to help student-athletes around the country. As a freshman, Maurides, Duke ‘07, was juggling schoolwork and a hectic training schedule, and he often found it hard to keep up. Maurides recalled that he would often forget his schedule and double-book, or show up late and completely miss everything. The punishment for being late or forgetting something for football was running stadium stairs—at four in the morning. “I ran enough of them to know that I wanted to solve the problem,” Maurides said. To help student athletes manage their hectic schedules, Maurides developed TeamWorks, a mobile app that improves coordination and communication between athletes and their coaches, with cofounder Shaun Powell. The app compiles equipment inventory and personnel information, manages team travel and creates schedules that can be viewed by both the coach and the student. See Teamworks on Page 3

DUSDAC considers fusion of Asian and Hispanic cuisine Samantha Neal The Chronicle

Jesús Hidalgo | The Chronicle Members of the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee were impressed by the diversity of foods served by AmigoSans.

A unique fusion of Asian and Hispanic flavors may soon be added to the campus food truck rotation. AmigoSan, a food truck centered in Raleigh, presented to the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee on Monday. The food truck offered a variety of options including loaded tater tots, Asian-inspired tacos and Sriracha brownies. AmigoSan owner Ed Sautro said in his presentation that he tries to cater to modern tastes with his constantly evolving menu. “Ten years ago, I never thought I’d be cooking with kale and fried tofu,” AmigoSan owner Ed Sautro said. Although items are currently sold à la carte, Sautro considered DUSDAC’s interest in special combo pricing for tacos, a side and drink. Sautro also discussed his experience with the food service industry and expressed his willingness to experiment with different tastes. DUSDAC members were impressed by the uniqueness of the foods served by AmigoSan, as well as the variety of flavors and numerous combinations that could be created. AmigoSan’s menu offers four different in-

ternational styles of toppings and a selection of proteins that includes tofu. Some members, however, had concerns about integrating the food truck into the rotation. One issue brought up by the committee was student waiting times, as the food took approximately 26 minutes to serve the committee. Moreover, the food was served uncovered, prompting questions about how the food could be transported to-go. Despite these drawbacks, the committee seemed confident that, if chosen, the relatively new truck would be able to find its stride before coming to campus and adapt easily to student demands. “People passing by the food truck earlier seemed interested in the menu, and they were also playing Taylor Swift, which was a nice touch,” said DUSDAC co-chair Brian Taylor, a junior. In January, DUSDAC discussed the possibility of increasing the number of food trucks on campus while renovations on West Union continue. There are currently a rotation of seven trucks on campus, serving dinner each weekday evening as well as Sunday brunch. Possibilities previously discussed included Sarge’s Chef on Wheels, an Asian and Caribbean food truck, and a Belgian waffle truck.

travel in its entirety, would connect major activity centers in the area including the hospitals at Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, downtown Durham and North Carolina Central University. Durham city leaders are already making way for the light rail by planning for the resulting economic development. “Transportation is very key for people living in communities to get to jobs,” said Durham Mayor Bill Bell. “What we’re hoping is the connection between Durham-Orange, and hopefully Wake, will help facilitate that.” Don Moffit, a Durham City Council member, said in order to encourage economic development around the proposed light rail stops, the city is using a plan that creates six zones of development. The zones allow flexibility in how buildings around the stop are used by granting owners discretion about

whether to use the space for residential, commercial or office use. Residents in these zones will be able to change the use without having to apply for the city’s rezoning approval, something Aaron Cain—who works for the strategic planning division of the Durham City-County Planning Department—said can otherwise be a lengthy process. “In areas not under [the zones of development], rezoning can take anywhere from six months to a year,” Cain said. Within the economic development planning, some Durham officials are considering the influence of light rail stops on nearby home prices. Moffit noted that some market-rate housing—such as the apartments near the proposed LaSalle Street stop—could become more expensive with the introduction of the light rail if the city does not intervene. He said the City Council is focused on making sure that as the light rail centers develop, 15 percent of the homes will be priced at 60 percent of local area median income. “We’re very fortunate that the Durham Housing Authority owns a lot of property within the activity center,” Moffit said. Bell echoed Moffit’s desire to maintain affordable housing options in his state of the city speech last month, saying that this will contribute to an overall reduction of poverty in Durham. In an effort to compare notes about how to move forward, Bell said he has spoken with transportation leaders in cities across North Carolina. “We were in constant contact with Charlotte as far as what they were doing procedure-wise,” he said. Cain said that Durham leaders are aware of how other areas, such as Charlotte, are choosing to move forward with their own light rail programs. Charlotte’s light rail system, however, differs from the Durham-Orange proposal because it does not span multiple counties. Cain said that Durham has taken an overall different approach, especially in its decision to create more flexibility in zoning. Officials acknowledged that planning between Chapel Hill and Durham has differed greatly, especially in the way that zoning around the proposed stops has been handled. Cain said that Chapel Hill will evaluate zoning requests individually instead of leaving it up to residents. “It’s definitely a different approach than Chapel Hill, which is taking a more fine grain approach, evaluating each individual building or project,” Cain said. Bell noted that this plan will need to depend on federal funding. Durham officials plan to apply for many grants, including some from the U.S. Department of Transportation, in the completion of this project. “If the federal government approves what we’ve done in 2019 they would give a full-funding grant agreement [to continue] construction from 2021 to 2025,” Bell said. City leaders expressed optimism about the project’s future, despite the foresight and structural planning needed. “The big pieces are that we have the ordinance that we need to have with [North Carolina] right now to be on board,” Bell said. “It’s complex but it’s doable.”

TEAMWORKS continued from page 1

TeamWorks has amassed close to 800 clients since it first started in 2006, when Maurides was still a student. Included in the client list is Duke athletics—along with the athletics departments of peer schools such as the University of North Carolina and Stanford University, conferences such as the Big Ten and professional organizations such as the San Francisco 49ers. Much of Maurides’ difficulty in managing his schedule as a student-athlete came from a structural deficiency in how Duke football, as well as many other athletics programs, were organized at the time, Maurides said. Often, athletes and their coaches were not on the same page. The administrators booking his schedule did not always know what other commitments he had, leading to double bookings and other scheduling conflicts. “We solved that by, at the very least, giving them access Khloe Kim | Chronicle File Photo to the full picture, so they could find times that made both of our schedules more efficient as well as use TeamWorks TeamWorks has been an asset to the Duke football program, which uses the application to organize its players’ schedules. to automatically remind us ahead of time,” Maurides said. Kevin Lehman, Duke’s director of football operations, said that TeamWorks has been a great asset to the Blue Devil football program, especially during the recent cancellations due to snow. “We had a plan based on what a normal operating day was like for us,” Lehman said. “But the moment we find out school is being delayed, we [have] to immediately look at our players’ availabilities and put together a new schedule in the limited time frame that we had. TeamWorks takes care of all of that stuff for us.” In 2011, TeamWorks worked with Duke athletics to quantify the monetary benefit the University has gained from using TeamWorks software. The study found that Duke’s return on investment was 345 percent, and that TeamWorks had saved Duke more than $240,000 in more efficient time usage and less paper usage, said Mitch Moser, chief financial officer for Duke athletics. The idea for the TeamWorks platform stemmed from an assignment Maurides had in an Information Science and Information Studies course at Duke. The inspiration for his project later became the inspiration for his business. “I was taking an ISIS course at the time,” he said. “We were talking about emerging web technologies and one of our assignments was to come up with a concept for a software service application that would benefit us in our lives.” Maurides added that support from his family was instrumental to him developing his vision. “My father is very entrepreneurial,” Maurides said. “During one of our phone calls, I mentioned the project I was working on. He said that he thought it was a great idea, and that if I had that problem there was a good chance sports programs around the country had it as well, so you should build it. He really encouraged me to go out onto the path of building it and making it into a real product.” He also added that the Duke athletic community was extremely responsive to his efforts and helped him further figure out how exactly his company would operate. “From there, I took a great amount of time to scope out the market,” Maurides said. “And I conducted interOffer cannot be combined with any other discount/sale. views with representatives from various areas within Duke athletics and turned that into functional specifications.” After he graduated from Duke, Maurides went to work Offer valid Tuesday, March 3 through Monday, March 9, 2015, as a program analyst for software company SciQuest, at which he had interned while a student. He worked there or while supplies last. for two years before deciding that he wanted to further develop TeamWorks, so he decided to enroll in the Master of Management Studies program at the Fuqua School of Business. Available in the following locations: After two quarters in the program, however, Maurides was getting good grades but felt he was not fully engaged with either his academics or TeamWorks as he tried to juggle them both. Upper Level, Bryan Center “I sat down with [then-vice dean] Kathie Amato, who was running that program, and I just said that I felt like I was serving two masters,” Maurides said. “Her advice was to take a leave of absence and go develop my business. If it Lower Level, Duke Clinics worked out, I wouldn’t need to come back, and if it didn’t, I still could. It was selfless advice, and it was [the] right advice that I needed to hear at the time.” each In the future, Maurides envisions being able to market $ 95 TeamWorks to departments outside of athletics. “We think this can apply to employee groups,” Maurides said. “Some universities have reached out to us about putting their campus safety officers on this. If something were to happen on East Campus, for example, TeamWorks could send out a message to all [Graduate Assistants] and [Resident Assistants] and ask someone to get it sorted out.”

Duke set to host Liberty, go for 9th straight win Ryan Neu Beat Writer With the youth of the team and so many changes to the schedule due to constant snow, it might be expected for the Blue Devils to falter. Instead, however, they are in the midst of an eight-game win streak. Duke will play host to Liberty Tuesday at Jack Coombs Field with first pitch set Liberty for 4 p.m. The Blue vs. Devils have seen two straight weekends of Duke rescheduled action during their eightTUESDAY, 4 p.m. game win streak but Jack Coombs Field have risen to the challenge well. They are also off to their best start to a season since 2008, when the program opened the season with a 12-0 mark. Head coach Chris Pollard’s squad is just two games away from tying the longest win streak the program has had during his tenure, when the team won 10 straight games between April 13 and May 4 last season. “We haven’t really talked about [the win streak] at all,” Pollard said. “We take a mantra that we take it each and focus on getting

better and living in the moment…. We know we’re facing a really good Liberty team.” Although the pitching staff—which will be led by freshman Ryan Day Tuesday— has been as good as advertised to start the season—Duke (9-1) has a team ERA of 1.74

through its first 10 games along with a 9.9 K/9—the offense has experienced some inconsistency. So far this season, the Blue Devil offense has scored five or more runs in a contest six times but has also scored two runs or

less four times. This weekend in particular, Duke won its first two contests by scoring a combined three runs, then exploded for 11 in the finale. Part of this inconsistency may be due in part to the lack of experience in the Blue Devil lineup. Three of the regulars in Pollard’s lineup are freshmen—Justin Bellinger, Jack Labosky and Evan Dougherty. And although Labosky currently leads the team batting average, Bellinger is batting .216 and Dougherty is batting a team-low .194 among the seven players who have started all 10 games so far this year. Despite these particular woes, however, the trio has contributed significantly to the offense at times this season. Dougherty, the starting centerfielder, leads the team in runs scored and Bellinger has the only home run for Duke this season. Just as importantly, both have also yet to commit an error this year. Pollard said there are kinks to be worked out among his players in terms of their approach at the plate, but with a weekend series at No. 20 North Carolina looming on the horizon, it will be important for the Blue Devils to master this inconsistency and focus on the Flames. “We have a saying in the program of See Baseball on Page 5

Krzyzewski declines comment on Sulaimon allegations Head coach Mike Krzyzewski was restricted by FERPA from commenting on the situation Staff Reports Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski declined to comment on sexual assault allegations levied against former Duke basketball player Rasheed Sulaimon Monday. The Chronicle published an article March 2 regarding sexual assault allegations that had been circling around Sulaimon since the 2013-14 school year. Sulaimon was dismissed from the team Jan. 29 after “[he] repeatedly struggled to meet the necessary obligations,” according to Krzyzewski in the initial press release. The junior’s dismissal was the result of multiple actions that took place throughout Sulaimon’s Blue Devil career, team sources told The Chronicle. Following the publication of the article at 7 a.m., Krzyzewski was

participating in the an ACC coaches’ conference call Monday at 11:30 a.m. when he was asked whether he was aware of the sexual assault allegations levied against Rasheed Sulaimon. “I don’t have any comment about that,” Krzyzewski said. “Thanks for asking.” Krzyzewski would deny comment four times in total by the end of the conference call, including one final exchange with a reporter asking why he continued to remain silent despite the matter beginning to command national attention. “I have no comment. Why would I change? I have no comment,” Krzyzewski said. Although Krzyzewski nor the reporters on the conference call addressed it, FERPA prevents all University employees from commenting on specific matters regarding Student Conduct cases prior to the completion of a disciplinary proceeding. Per the FERPA website, postsecondary institutions may disclose the final results of disciplinary proceedings if the institution has found that the student

has violated the institution’s rules or policies in regards to a crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense. Furthermore, the institution may not disclose the name of any other student, including a victim or witness, without the prior written consent of that student. The University backed this sentiment up Monday when it issued the following statement from Mike Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, to all inquiring media, citing student confidentiality law. “Duke is prohibited by law from disclosing publicly any particular student’s confidential education records,” the statement said. “The university takes immediate action when it receives reports of alleged sexual misconduct or other violations of the student conduct code, which includes investigation and referral to the Student Conduct Office for review in a timely manner as required by law. Duke also takes every possible action internally to ensure anyone who raises a complaint of sexual misconduct is supported and the campus community is safe.”

“

UNC closes academic centers The University of North Carolina Board of Governors unanimously voted to close three different academic centers, embroiling the board and its critics across the state in a debate about the proper role of politics in education. Although the vote was part of a standard review of the state’s 240 boards and institutes, the closure of the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity sparked the ire of several professors and commentators. Many are claiming that the move was political retribution against the center’s director, Gene Nichol, an increasingly vocal opponent of the state’s Republican leaders. The vote, which was praised as necessary and cost-efficient by state conservatives, comes on the heels of the board’s controversial decision to renew UNC President Tom Ross for one year only, which was also interpreted by many liberal professors and commentators as politically motivated. Although it is impossible to confirm or deny the alleged political motivations underlying the closures, the limited justifications proffered thus far are insufficient. One of the main conservative critiques of the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity was that it was oriented around a political goal rather than an academic one, echoing sentiments from conservatives around the country doubting the neutrality

of academia. This critique is unconvincing. On one hand, poverty and politics are intimately entwined. Beliefs and ideology are instrumental in explaining the causes of poverty and inequality, determining poverty’s status as a systemic problem and implementing solutions. Even more, studying and confronting issues relating to poverty are particularly relevant to a state in which so many citizens live in financial scarcity. As of 2013, nearly 17.5 percent of North Carolinians live at or below the poverty line, 2 percent higher than the national average. Universities are in the business of providing solutions, some more abstract than others, but solutions nonetheless. Political bodies should not seek to limit the potential impact of academia in society, especially if the findings of these centers are not aligned with the ruling political ideologies. In an editorial published in the Raleigh News and Observer, John Fennebresque, chairman of the UNC Board of Governors, defended closing the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity, stating that the decision was the result of a fair and conclusive review of the center’s impact on poverty. He pointed to similar efforts at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Social Work and the Kenan-Flagler School

of Business as more productive examples of the university system’s work to combat poverty. After all, effective policy-making is made at the margins and, if the UNC system can re-organize its efforts to more efficiently tackle the issue, it should by all means. Yet, though it is entirely plausible that the Board of Governors acted without political motivation, its reasons are opaque and lack key information about the relative impact of the centers in question. Many similar organizations were slated for reform rather than closure, and the difference in relative impact is difficult to discern. Although one cannot prove that censorship and political motivations were at play, the atmosphere that these kind of controversies create negatively affect everyone in the UNC education system, failing to promote an environment of cooperation and open exploration of potential solutions for pressing issues. More transparency would help clear up this atmosphere of controversy and, if political motivations are the cause of this disruption, instigate structural reforms that ensure that academia is insulated from the political whims of the majority. Some may argue that these pressures are acting as representative of the people of North Carolina but, considering the scale of the problem at hand, it is clear that something is astray.

I am appaled to be affiliated with an institution where the victims of sexual assault feel like they are obligated to tacitly defend their assailants.

’d been having one of those days, one of those weeks and one of those semesters. I had cloistered myself in the library as penance for a series of unprecedentedly horrible exam grades but nonetheless managed to teach myself a grand total of one concept for my impending statistics midterm. Finally realizing that another hour in Perkins would do nothing more than make me slide further down my own personal spiral of anxiety and selfloathing, I finally decided to call it a night and get some sleep—after I checked Facebook. My newsfeed was full of people at parties I had ditched in order to focus on schoolwork, so I scrolled quickly through it before suddenly stumbling upon something one of my freshman dorm RAs had reposted.

Suddenly I was revealing some of my most personal concerns to those sitting around me. I was ohso-ready to leave Duke but harbored guilt for feeling that way. I felt indifferent about economics, the subject in which I had so enthusiastically decided to major just a year ago. More than anything, though, I was tired of being so hard on myself, so unwilling to forgive my mistakes and inadequacies. It felt like I was on some late-night talk show—”Tom Vosburgh Tells All” would make for a great episode title—but it was cathartic nonetheless. As each halting confession left my mouth and disappeared into the frigid air I truly began to realize my problems were not unique to me—my voice could very well have been that of any of my peers. I could not possibly be the only one struggling with statistics,

Tom Vosburgh THE STRUGGLE “This campus, like many similar institutions, is home to a mental health crisis—with which I and many of you are personally familiar. “Tonight from 10PM-12AM I will be sitting on the steps of the chapel, and invite those of you who are hurting, helping those who suffer or want to have a part in fighting this battle to come join me. We can talk, we can sit in silence—you can make your presence known, or you can watch from afar, but even if I am the only one who shows up, know that if you’re reading this, you are not alone. “If this means anything to you, please stop by, however briefly, and please share this message yourself.” “Take care of yourselves and each other, and remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness— it is the first step to becoming stronger.” Unsure if my present state truly constituted a mental health crisis—I’ve taken advantage of Duke Counseling and Psychological Services a few times but never gotten any sort of formal diagnosis—I nonetheless resolved to see what there was to see. So, 20 minutes later, I made the cold, dark slog from Perkins to the Chapel. The snow crunched under my feet, and I adjusted my hat to better shield myself from the wind. The lights normally illuminating the building façade were off, making the gathering of five or so people at its foot appear like a cult meeting. Refusing to let the dramatic analogies whizzing around in my head discourage me, I approached the group and immediately recognized my former RA. I sat down a step from her and just focused on my breathing for a moment—I wasn’t about to just bare my soul in front of a group of strangers. But then I did.

nor could everyone else be Buddhist monks perfectly at peace with their imperfections. “You’re not alone in this,” my RA told me. “Everyone feels that way sometimes, but everyone deals with it differently.” We may each confront and solve our inner demons differently, but we shouldn’t have to do so alone. Our student body has become so much more aware of and sensitive to mental health issues, whether they are diagnosable illnesses or general insecurities and vulnerabilities, since I matriculated in the Aug. 2012. For instance, this February’s Mental Health Awareness Month featured numerous well-attended events, and “Me Too Monologues” focused on the issue more than it has in previous years. Resources such as CAPS and Peer for You are well utilized, and mentioning them in conversation has lost some of its stigma. At the same time, though, March is upon us, “Me Too” only happens a few weekends per year and some students still perceive CAPS as too drastic a solution to their problems. That is why we must realize the mental health of our peers and ourselves is our responsibility, not just the purview of CAPS and other such institutions. When you’re suffering, asking for help feels impossible. Reaching out to someone struggling can feel that way too, but the good you can do for him or her is immense. If anything, my experience on the chapel steps made me realize that people don’t need a social work degree or a prescription pad to be helpful—they just need to be able to listen and give advice as best they can. And that’s a start, isn’t it? Tom Vosburgh is a Trinity junior. His column runs every other Tuesday.

Campus of cards

he past week froze a number of things: sidewalks, streets and student productivity among them. That last bit, anchored in part by aversion to midterms and equally so by the rare opportunity for a snowball fight, has been exacerbated by the return of Frank Underwood. To begin, count me among the scores of “House of Cards” fans. The show captures the sinister intrigue of our political imagination, and beautifully packages that in archetypal characters for archetypes that probably don’t exist. It’s a masterful job by Netflix, one so masterful that it has begun to alter my viewing—and living—experience. As a one stop shop for “binge-watching” television series, Netflix’s ability to devour time and wandering thought epitomizes modern media consumption. Ordinarily,

smothered by drawn-on hearts. Logging on to the read The Chronicle that morning offered a “House of Cards” DSG parody. By the time I had reached the library, I had already heard three differing opinions on whether or not the Russian President Victor Petrov would actually be a major character. The conversation was pervasive, to a startling degree. As much as I wanted to save the new season for my anticipated spring break coma, Duke’s campus, let alone the entire Internet, had no interest in waiting for me. The anticipation that usually builds for each episode from week to week was unleashed in a flash, and everybody who dipped a foot in had no likelihood of coming out. The breakdown conversations that usually occur over

To-do Before this semester, I wouldn’t have dreamed of writing about my to-do list. It probably would’ve looked a lot like yours—study for midterm, outline essay (before Tues.— meet with TA?), coffee with Alice, LAUNDRY. But this semester is my last semester, and now I have time. This is my to-do list now: I’m going to memorize every single one of Kathy’s songs in the off-Broadway musical “The Next Five Years”. I’m not really sure why. As college ends, my vocal career probably will also. But I love this music and it sounds good when I sing it and maybe eventually I will play Kathy and I just really really want to do this. Then I’m going to read the sequences, a series of articles I stumbled on that are designed to make thought processes more rational. I have no idea if they’ll actually influence my thought patterns or if they’ll ever relate to my life at all, but they excite me, and maybe they’ll change my life. And I’m going to learn JavaScript—I want to make my websites come alive. Oh, and I’m going to read “Wuthering Heights”. Somehow I still haven’t read “Wuthering Heights”. I also think I’m going to learn how to put on makeup really well. Because it’s fun to turn your face into a work of art sometimes, and it’s fascinating how you can make your eye completely change its shape just by shading it. I can’t paint to save my life, so maybe this is the only visual art I’ll ever master. And out of all the things on my list, this will

MORE OR LESS

BRAVE NEW WORLD

and no less effectively, Netflix offers content that has already been released. The opportunity to relive season long investments from shows long gone remains attractive—my sisters’ excitement to see me return home from a semester abroad was superseded disturbingly quickly by the arrival Friends on Netflix. Perhaps the only thing people love as much as instant access is new content, which is why “House of Cards” sets such a unique precedent. Melting away to watch Ross and Rachel duke it out in season three of “Friends” entertains, but nowhere near as much as it did the first time. Settling in for a new season of “House of Cards”, however, is like buckling in for a 12-hour movie premier. No drive, no wait and only one monthly fee. Choosing whether to watch in bed or on the couch is the hard part, and that’s a good problem to have. The appeal certainly resonates with me. I love eating ice cream and watching new stuff, and if I only have to walk five feet to do it, bonus. However, the season three release of “House of Cards” has permeated more than just my entertainment lethargy. In essence, “House of Cards” sets off a sort of meta time bomb—linking together audiovisual media to embellish the viewing experience. Frank Underwood appears on the screen of my laptop when I choose— he appears on my phone, Facebook and commute to West Campus at the president’s leisure. I woke up Saturday morning, a day after the show’s release, to find three new snapchats on my phone. While one was a friend’s belligerence from the night before, the other two captured President Underwood midstride. A friend from Tulane captioned one of the show’s bizarrely crafted sex scenes with “why?”, while a sophomore sent me a shot of Frank

lunch the next day have been extended to weeklong dialogue, one that evolves as people progress through the season. Increasingly, the shift from cinema to television as a source of premier entertainment has altered the viewing and conversational experience. The lavish escape provided by a theater has been replaced by the total cultural immersion of the television room. Portability and multi-functionality make modern media consumption an activity as much as a leisure. Whether or not this is better is inconclusive. However, it’s certainly different. Knowing that a Vladimir Putin doppelganger was going to arrive at the White House in episode three hardly constitutes a spoiler. Nonetheless, it is indicative of exposure that Netflix is able to capitalize on. When a television series exists outside of its own medium, and with such inescapability, it becomes more than just a production. The hashtags, tweets, articles and more combine to create an experience. While fleeting in any sort of long-term context, it remains overwhelmingly immersive for the week that follows. Forgive that I’ve only watched three episodes, but for the first time in the series Frank Underwood seems to be struggling with the magnitude of his position. Given that he’s President of the United States of America, that’s understandable. Nonetheless, his scope seems to outweigh his intent, even though that intent is overarching power. Similarly, Netflix has what it wants: a blockbuster television show that captivates its audience for a week at a time. Whether or not that expanse outweighs the experience of its viewers seems out of its hands.

almost definitely be of the most practical relevance to my life, whether I like it or not. Every day of this semester is exciting and filled with possibility—and, strangely, I’m learning better and deeper than I ever have before. I keep—why wasn’t my life more like this before? I was always busy. I swore I would never write a “we need to stop valuing busyness—stop packing your life with so many activities” article. So this isn’t one. I’m not judgmental of your busyness. I’m skeptical of it. A few days ago, a friend and I were talking about how for years after you first drink alcohol, especially if you’re timid about it, almost every time you drink, you feel like you’ve discovered what being drunk is really like. You get tipsy and feel a little lightheaded, and you think you’re drunk. And then you discover what it’s like to lose your balance a little, and you realize that what you thought was being drunk was nothing like the real thing. And you keep rediscovering your naïveté every time you have a little more. Busyness is the same way. All throughout college and high school, I kept thinking I had really discovered what it’s like to be at full capacity, only to learn of how ignorant I had been. I kept falling into a state of stress. I kept triaging my life, only dealing with those things that were the most immediately pressing. And I so rarely needed to. I’m sorry for that now. Years ago, one of my high school mentors would always stress the difference between education and training. She’d delineate the difference by explaining: “training is anything you’d teach a slave.” She didn’t mean “slave” in the traditional sense of the word. She meant anyone you’d want to do your bidding—any position that didn’t necessarily involve creativity or intense critical thinking. She’d preach about the value of education, about how it made life richer. She’d talk about how, if training taught you how to live productively, education taught you how to live well. She thought that the purpose of college was education, not training. A number of my fellow seniors and I have lately been bemoaning how little training we have. So few of us feel capable of making a compelling case as to why our skills should be highly valued. As we talked, I realized: I haven’t been receiving training this past few years as much as I’ve been receiving an education. I’ve been given time and resources and encouragement to explore. And I haven’t always used them, caught up as I’ve been in rushing to this meeting and banging out that essay and skimming that paper. I’ve been acting as I would if I were getting trained—not if I were getting educated. I swore I wouldn’t turn this into an advice column this year, but it’s getting harder and harder as I get older and hopefully wiser. So this time, I’m putting on the senior hat and talking to everyone who still has a lot of time here. If most things on your to-do list make you feel tired instead of invigorated, something is wrong. You just aren’t that busy. Walk down any road that compels you. You’re receiving an education—you’ve been given the opportunity to explore. You’ll regret it if you don’t embrace it.
