DUHS breaks 6 DUKE UNC 19 ground on Houston, we have a problem cancer center Running back controls clock against Blue Devils

The chronicle

Valarie Worthy won her battle with breast cancer 10 years ago, but there are certain things she says she will never forget.

She remembers a Duke University Health System employee bringing her from the White Zone to the Red Zone and back for various procedures—all in a day’s care. She recalls receiving her treatment in a recliner because there were not enough beds.

And she can still picture the face of the X-ray technician who let her sing a song to drown out her fears.

“I was out of tune, out of beat, but he acted as if that was the best song he had ever heard,” Worthy said. “But isn’t that the kind of care we give here at Duke?”

Today, Worthy is an oncology nurse at Duke. The care that Duke nurses, technicians and physicians provide their patients is unchanged, she said. But in 2012, if all goes according to plan, the facilities in which patients receive their treatment will be quite different.

DUHS officials, Gov. Bev Perdue, President Richard Brodhead and dozens of community members gathered Friday afternoon to break ground on a new cancer center, a seven-story, 267,000-square-

Thaddeus Lewis tries to avoid Da’Norris Searcy during the Blue Devils’ 13-point loss to North Carolina Saturday at Kenan Stadium. Searcy and the Tar Heel defense held Lewis to just 113 yards through the air.

CHAPEL HILL — Three steps forward, one enormous step backward.

Riding a three-game winning streak into its rivalry matchup with North Carolina, Duke ran into a brick wall Saturday at Kenan Stadium in the form of the Tar Heels and their second-string running back, Ryan Houston. Rushing for 164 yards—more than the Blue Devils’ total offensive output of 125 yards—Houston and the rest of the Tar Heels (6-3, 2-3 in the ACC) physically manhandled Duke (5-4, 3-2) en route to a 19-6 win that seriously dents the Blue Devils’ fledgling hopes of qualifying for a bowl game.

“We really were fortunate to have a chance there in the fourth quarter to win the game, because bottom line is we got whipped,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “My hat is off to them for a wellplayed ball game.”

As Cutcliffe referenced, sloppy play by both sides through the first three quarters meant that much of the game was a close kicking battle, with North Carolina up 9-6 entering the final period. But without See tar heels on PAGE 10

Reforms will Arts Weekend debuts at Duke expand role of Inaugural event connects students, alumni in art industry DSG judiciary

by Jingwen Hu The chronicle

by Ben Joseph The chronicle

A spirit of reform has recently swept through Duke Student Government.

Several weeks ago, the DSG Senate approved bylaws outlining new judicial procedures that are in accordance with constitutional amendments passed in September. The reforms include an increase in term length and changes to the selection process for justices and the formalization of the judiciary’s roles.

To increase student involvement, DSG opened all six associate justice positions to students wishing to apply, a departure from the old process that reserved half the spots for appointed justices. Thirty six students applied for the spots by the Nov. 3 deadline.

“The judicial reforms are a long-term change that aim See judiciary on page 4

Students who want to be bankers, consultants and government diplomats have all had their chance to network on campus. This weekend, it was the aspiring artist’s turn.

Duke Arts Weekend aimed to “expose the artistic talent on campus,” said Vice Provost for the Arts Scott Lindroth, who oversaw the organization of the event. DART was also a chance for students who want jobs in a media field to talk to Duke alumni who have made careers in arts, entertainment and media.

After dedicating substantial time to art in high school, many students turn to professional training at Duke to pursue a practical career after graduation, Lindroth said.

The arts showcase was an effort to allow students of all majors and professional interests to integrate art into their lives again.

Cameo Hartz, assistant director of the Career Center, said organizers tried to bring recent alumni with jobs in the arts to DART weekend in order to help students find careers in the arts.

“They have a lot of insight into the transition, the decision making and the uncertainty,” she said.

Amy Unell, Trinity ’03 and a panelist at DART weekend, said she decided to go into television journalism after taking a course on the topic at Duke. But because there were few people at the University involved in the field, Unell said she had to carve out her own path to a job through multiple internships.

Unell is now an NBC producer and said she came back to Duke because she wants to help students interested in a career in television journalism.

“I was in their shoes not long ago,” she said.

Unell said she picked up a lot of her skills working for Duke’s Cable 13.

She advised students who aspire to media careers to be persistent and realize that the first few years after college will consist of hard work and little pay.

Unell spoke at the “TV and Film Creation” panel Saturday in the Bryan Center. The panel was one of eight discussions, featuring a painter, a photographer and an actor, as well as a lawyer, businesspeople and consultants.

Lindroth worked for more than two months with the Duke Alumni Association, Duke Entertainment, Media

El Salvador floods and mudslides leave 91 people dead

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Torrential rains in El Salvador triggered flooding and mudslides that left at least 91 people dead across the Central American nation, officials said Sunday.

At least 60 people were reported missing, and authorities warned that the toll could rise as rescuers reached hard-hit zones that remained cut off by flood waters and landslides. About 7,000 people were evacuated and scores were rescued from flood zones by helicopter, said Inte-

rior Minister Humberto Centeno.

The impoverished nation of 7 million was pelted by three days of rain attributed to “a disturbed weather area” off the Pacific coast of El Salvador, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Meteorologist Dennis Feltgen said the heavy rains were unrelated to Hurricane Ida, which earlier sideswiped the region as a tropical storm over the western Caribbean Sea.

“Black liquor” could pass Defects reported in Toyotas House health care reform More than 1,000 Toyota and Lexus owners have reported since 2001 that their vehicles suddenly accelerated on their own, in many cases slamming into trees, parked cars and brick walls, among other obstacles, a Los Angeles Times review of federal records has found.

The crashes resulted in at least 19 deaths and scores of injuries over the last decade, records show, which federal regulators say is far more than any other automaker has experienced.

Owner complaints helped trigger at least eight investigations into sudden acceleration in Toyota and Lexus vehicles by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the last seven years.

WASHINGTON — House Democrats might use a swig of “black liquor” to help health care reform go down.

Democratic leaders, who have been searching high and low for ways to pay for health care reform, have fixed their sights on a cellulosic biofuel tax subsidy that could benefit the paper industry, which has been burning a pulp byproduct known as black liquor as fuel since the 1930s.

In June, the Internal Revenue Service said that without congressional action, paper companies would be able to exploit a $1.01 a gallon tax subsidy that was part of the 2008 farm bill and which was designed to stimulate new biofuel production from plant sources other than corn.

Scientists find energy alternative

Center from page 1 foot, $235-million expansion that will bring clinical services, currently scattered across the medical campus and outpatient clinics, under one roof. A cake on display modeled the building.

“We’re here to break ground for this center because it is a spectacular facility—you can see that in the cake, though I think it is a bit tilted,” said Dr. Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and chief executive officer of DUHS in his speech at the event. “This is a historic moment for Duke Medicine....

Cure is an ambitious word, but we are not afraid of it because curing cancer is what we intend to do.”

The idea for the new cancer center was conceived in 2005 when DUHS was crafting its strategic plan, and the planning began in earnest two years ago, said DUHS Associate Vice President Carolyn Carpenter. She noted that DUHS officials had serious conversations about the funding and timetable for the project when the stock market crashed last fall, but she emphasized that the project itself was never at risk.

“In light of these hard economic times, I’ve said, ‘Should we go forward?’” Dzau said. “And [DUHS employees] have said, ‘We have to invest in the future.’”

The new cancer center is part of DUHS’s $700-million expansion. To fund the projects, DUHS will borrow a total of $300 million and launch a $200-million fund-raising campaign, Dzau said. Several donors have already expressed interest in contributing, he added.

The rest of the funding for the project will come from operations, and Dzau said he has been trimming DUHS’s budget—cutting $50 million this year and planning for an additional $25 million in savings next year—to ensure that the revenue can be generated. Although health care reform may change how hospitals are reimbursed for care, Dzau said he does not think the changes will be significant enough to threaten funding for the expansion.

If there are insufficient funds, DUHS will dip into its reserves to finance the projects, he added.

“If we continue to perform like we

Officials from the state, the University and Duke University Health System participate in a ceremony that symbolizes the ground-breaking of DUHS’ new cancer center Friday afternoon. have the last few years, we will be fine,” he said in an interview. “I will never put the institution at financial risk.”

Cancer cases are predicted to rise 14 percent nationally and 20 percent in the Triangle area between 2006 and 2011, meaning that the new cancer center cannot come soon enough, DUHS officials said. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill opened the N.C. Cancer Hospital, a 315,000-square-foot facility, in September.

“I have gotten to the age when I don’t ask if I’ll be diagnosed, but when, because cancer is so prevalent among us,” Perdue said.

Linked to the Morris Cancer Clinic, the new center will expand Duke’s oncology offerings with 140 examination rooms, 75 infusion stations, a pharmacy and lots of greenery—chemotherapy patients will be able to receive their treatments on a garden terrace. Construction is expected to end in 2012.

Service-Learning in Spanish?

¡Sí, claro!

Jeffrey Crawford, chief of medical oncology, said he thinks DUHS’s investment in cancer care in this time of economic uncertainty means a great deal to his patients.

“For our patients, they may never be treated in this new building, but it gives them hope,” he said in an interview.

“Despite the economy, despite the fact that Duke is going to have to finance a lot of this on their own, we’re hoping that with that commitment others will step up.”

The speeches were given in a large white tent erected where the new cancer center will eventually stand. Although crews will not lay the foundation of the building until January, Worthy said DUHS has been ready for the expansion in other ways for years.

“I’m excited because we have already laid the groundwork,” she said. “We have state-of-the-art care. We have compassion.”

Imagine never having to charge an iPod. Duke researchers have brought this vision closer to reality through developing a device capable of harvesting energy from motion. The study, funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, used nonlinear interactions between magnets to gain energy from day-to-day activities such as walking.

“Most of the previous work done in this area has developed devices capable of pulling a relatively large amount of energy out of a small range of frequencies,” said Brian Mann, lead researcher in the study and assistant professor of mechanical engineering. “This device, however, can pull energy out of a much broader range.”

The device is able to do so because of the researchers’ unique approach, said Samuel Stanton, researcher in the study and a graduate student in engineering.

“Past studies have focused on using linear systems, which only allowed devices to be efficient within a narrow frequency,” he said.

This research team, however, was able to use nonlinear systems to their advantage.

“What we’re doing is embracing nonlinearity instead of trying to design around it or applying controls to mitigate it,” Stanton said.

As a result, the device is able to provide a renewable source of energy from activities that entail changing frequencies, such as the movement of a car. This holds many implications for the future of energy, potentially replacing the battery as a power source.

Possible future applications of the device range from powering iPods and cell phones to medical sensors and devices See energy on page 5

PHIL 196S.01 Race Theory: Culture, Biology, and Race West Duke 100 Wednesday 3:05-5:35 taught by Robert Brandon and Yolonda Wilson

This course will be arranged thematically. We will begin by using current understanding of evolutionary biology and phylogenetic classification to trace the broad history of human migrations out of Africa . But this contemporary theory and current genomic data do not settle all questions about race.

There is a history of race concepts that is relevant. So we will next turn to how biologists and anthropologists in the 19th century understood race:

are there racial essences? are races natural kinds?

Is there more than one origin of humans?

Knowing what motivated these questions and how these questions were answered will give us insight into how law and policy shaped and continues to shape cultural and racial identity for many. This will also allow us to make meaningful comparisons and contrasts between biological conceptions of race versus “folk,” or “ordinary”conceptions of race. We will conclude the course with an examination of the interplay between race, culture, and biology. This course will be pitched to those who have some background in Philosophy. The coursework will consist of papers rather than examinations.

judiciary from page 1 to remedy the previously ineffective and incompetent DSG judiciary” said DSG Executive Vice President Gregory Morrison, a junior. “By making DSG judiciary more independent and providing them with a greater extension of authority, the governing body hopes to provide students with a way to voice their concerns about how DSG runs.”

The DSG judiciary previously was not independent and had to wait for students to bring cases to it before issuing rulings, according to a memo from Morrison advocating judicial reform. The judiciary’s rulings were also more limited in scope—it could not rule DSG actions unconstitutional, for instance.

The reform allows the judiciary to act as a trial and constitutional court, greatly expanding the governing body’s authority on campus.

“The constitution gives DSG the right to exercise some ruling over disputes between DSG-chartered student groups, because you don’t always want an administrator in [the Office of Student Activities and Facilities] handling them.” Morrison said.

Sophomore Eric Zimmerman disagreed, raising concerns about students adjudicating conflicts between student groups.

“I’d rather have disputes between student groups handled by OSAF rather than my peers,” he said. “I mean, I see merits in both arguments. But in the end, I just disagree with the idea of DSG, a student group, making a ruling on another student group, even if it’s chartered by DSG.” The reforms also change the chief justice and justice selection process for the court. Morrison said that in the past, the DSG president, executive vice president and chief justice each appointed a justice to the court, and the other three justices were elected by the Senate.

A new Senate judiciary committee now recommends candidates to the cabinet for confirmation.

The chief justice will also face a similar recommendation and approval process.

Students, however, will vote on his or her confirmation in the Spring elections.

Chief Justice Matt Straus, a sophomore, said the selection process he underwent was embarrassing because it offered little opportunity for DSG members to evaluate him before he was selected.

“They sent the candidates a blast e-mail inviting them to speak before the Senate.

They asked us a few questions and had us go into another room while they deliberated,” he said. “One of the great things about these reforms is that it adds a lot more accountability. They know a lot more about this candidate rather than what the Senate can gather from a person in five minutes.”

To make the justices more independent, DSG extended their term lengths from one to two years.

One of the greatest concerns among DSG members was the unclear wording of the constitution, which left some justices without a clear understanding of their jobs, Morrison said.

“The way we operated last year, we operated as a trial and constitutional court, but there was nothing in terms of procedure on how to go about doing this,” Straus said.

“So even though not much has changed besides the selection process, all these reforms formalized the process.”

Several senators said they were pleased with the outcome of the reforms and the prospects for a better DSG judiciary in the future.

“The reforms will ensure that justices are independent, intelligent and morally competent,” said Student Affairs Senator Molly Superfine, a freshman. “This reform marks an incredible improvement in transparency in the judiciary.”

DART from page 1 and the Arts Network, the Office of Student Activities and Facilities and the Career Center to create DART weekend.

The concept for the weekend originated from senior Andrea Coravos, an avid photographer and a former Chronicle columnist, who wanted to create an outlet for student artists to “get recognized or make money.”

Last Spring, she helped found UniTee, a subgroup of Duke Venture Forward. UniTee was an entrepreneurial organization on campus that hoped to allow students to purchase their peers’ artwork in a showcase. The project was abandoned when they had difficulties with charging students on Flex, but the idea was not forgotten. Coravos mentioned it to Lindroth, who then “took it to a whole new level” with DART weekend, Coravos said.

Beyond alumni panels and an art showcase, DART weekend included a networking dinner Friday night and performances by Duke’s Latin Dance troupe Sabrosura and two student musicians.

Approximately 130 students and 23 alumni attended the networking dinner in the Levine Science Research Center, Lindroth said.

Students who want to pursue a career in the arts are a minority on campus. In 2008, more than 200 students graduated with degrees in economics, but only three majored in visual arts, according to data provided by University Registrar Bruce Cunningham last year on first majors.

Adelyn Wyngaarden, a sophomore who plans to major in visual arts, said she has always been interested in visual arts, but decided to come to Duke and receive a more practical education.

She changed her mind when she realized she enjoyed visual arts more than other subjects. Had she known her current interests, Wyngaarden said she would not have come to Duke because “Duke doesn’t do enough [for the arts]” and focuses more resources on “practical” majors like economics or public policy.

But DART weekend is “a step in the right direction,” said Afftene Taylor, a sophomore who hopes to own a film and media production company.

Taylor said that although there are fewer film opportunities here at Duke than at a film school, she is happy at Duke because “any type of life experience can totally help” a person pursuing a career in film.

“There is no prescribed path to becoming a professional artist,” Lindroth said.

Lindroth, who knew he wanted to become a composer at the age of 12, studied at Eastman School of Music and Yale School of Music. But he said this kind of path is not the only road to a career in the arts.

Lindroth said “perseverance and discipline” will improve a Duke graduate’s chance of finding an arts job. But there are no guarantees, he said, adding that if students are not willing to take a risk, “this is not for you.”

He knows students who did not start pursuing careers in the arts until taking a course with a great professor and finding that they were talented. Although these students made their decisions later than others, they are “nevertheless promising,” he said.

Lindroth noted that other students pursue professional training, only to later realize their love for the arts.

He said he knows one student who went to medical

ENERGY from page 3 such as pacemakers, using the energy created from walking.

One of the major benefits of the device is its practicality.

Mann said the device can be implanted into hard-to-reach places such as the inside of a bridge to power a structural health sensor, generating power from natural vibrations.

He added that one will never have to go back to the sensor to replace a battery.

Mann said this may have a significant effect on the automotive industry. Instead of implementing extensive wiring throughout a car’s body to power functions such as electric window movement, the device could simply be implanted within a car door.

At this point in development, the device carries a low capacity for generating energy. Stanton said, however, that the principle behind the device is more significant than the device itself.

“The scale of the device would be more appropriate for small electronics, but the idea is more far-reaching,” he said.

Researchers also foresee a positive impact on the environment.

“It would reduce the environmental footprint by having devices that generate their own power, eliminating the need for lead acid batteries,” Stanton said.

school and then became a professional violinist.

For those who have a passion for the arts, but are hesitant to pursue it for fear of worrying about next month’s rent, Lindroth suggested finding a mentor in an arts department who can give “clear-eyed advice” and honestly evaluate the student’s “ability and likelihood to succeed.”

Junior Caitlin Cook attended the “TV and Film Creation” panel because she wanted to gain insight on how the film industry works and how to break into it. She is writing her first screenplay, a science fiction piece set 15 years in the future.

“Eventually I would like someone to look at [the screenplays] and see if they are interested,” she said.

But if they are not she has a plan B—she is a psychology major on a research track.

Sophomore Zoe Wright-Neil, a transfer student from Sarah Lawrence College, said Duke is more supportive of students pursuing the arts than her previous school.

She said the “TV and Film Creation” panel informed her of the lifestyle she would have and the sacrifices she would need to make in order to reach her goal of becoming a script writer. She added that she is glad there is a network of Duke alumni who can help her.

Asian and Middle Eastern Studies

For more information please contact 668-2603

AMES 139 Poetic Cinema - An inquiry into sources of “resonance” in international cinema with emphasis on films from Asia and the Middle East. Aspects of film construction which conduce to intense experience for viewers. Readings in indigenous aesthetics. Nacer Khemir, Tsai Ming-liang, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, and others. Nacer Khemir in person.

Professor Satti Khanna Photo credit: Nacer Khemir, Bab’Aziz (Tunisia, 2008)

AMES 153 Trauma and Space in Asia - The class explores shared and unshared experiences of historical trauma in Asia broadly defined. We explore traumatic historical moments in their relationship to space, to examine shared yet contentious sites of traumatic historical memories. We shall examine a wide range of texts, from literature, to film, to popular discourses, to address issues such as the loss of empire and territorial partition in the apparent transition from colonialism to postcolonialism in Asia to consider on-going legacies from the past. By exploring the fault lines between Israel/Palestine, India/Pakistan, China/Taiwan, North Korea/South Korea, Japan/Korea, North/South Vietnam, we critically engage discourses of trauma translated across geographical boundaries.

Professors Shai Ginsburg and Nayoung Aimee Kwon AMES 164S Topics in Korean Religions: Modern Korean Buddhism in the Global Context - This course introduces the history, thought and practice of Buddhism in Korea from the nineteenth century to the present.

Specific topics covered include Buddhism during the colonial period; its relationship with Christianity and Japanese Buddhism; Korean Buddhist reform movements; factionalism in post-colonial Buddhism; Buddhism in North Korea; the critical role of nuns; the response of Buddhism to an increasingly Westernized and globalized Korean society; the formation of Korean Buddhist communities in America. Special attention is given to the forces of religious persecution, modern nation-states, Christianity, modernity, colonialism and imperialism, Communism, nationalism, democracy, and globalization, and their influence on Buddhist reformers, institutions, practices, and rituals. Readings are drawn largely from primary sources (in English translation) and are supplemented by selected secondary works.

No Korean language/culture/Buddhism required.

Professor Hwansoo Kim AMES 177 Colonial Cinemas and Postcolonial Reflections - This course considers the cinematic mode of representation in multiple colonial contexts, such as the British in India, the French in Africa, and the Japanese in East Asia to rethink the problem of representing the Other in the uneven context of empire. We shall survey colonial cinemas produced by the colonizers to legitimate colonial enterprises as well as postcolonial contentions and retrospectives to consider the legacies of colonial violence in the era of global capital. Monday sessions are reserved for occasional film screenings.

Professors Guo-Juin Hong and Nayoung Aimee Kwon AMES 187 Mystical Literature - This course aims at exploring and examining the tradition of mysticism in literature of world, British, and American writers.The objective is to introduce the student to numerous genres and literary works that manifest a deep religious attitude or experience as a way of life and cross-cultural phenomenon.

Though there are mystics- or Sufis outside the Catholic Church, the course will focus on selected works of Dante, Milton, and their predecessors in Muslim Spain, such as Ibn Arabi, Ibn Shuhaid Andulusi, and Abu Al Ala’a Al Ma’arri , who made his journey to Hell and Paradise three centuries before Dante. Close readings of texts will reveal the recurrent theme: “the direct, intuitional experience of God through unifying love.”

Professor Abdul Sattar Jawad AMES 195S Special Topics: The City of South Asia - South Asian cities are the site of various dichotomies which define the continent’s experience of the 21st century. For example, in India, changing economic structures, including the growth of the service industry, have contributed to increases in income, a new focus on leisure activities, and various urban renewal projects.

Simultaneously, millions participate in the informal economy, squat on roadsides or live in slums, and lack access to basic sanitation and utilities. In this writingintensive course, we will attempt to come to terms with the multiplicity of the South Asian urban experience. Utilizing an array of texts, images, and films, we will explore topics such as urban morphology, neoliberal development, work and leisure, the informal economy, poverty, identity, and violence. Case studies will be used from countries across South Asia, including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Blue Devils fall at Wake, Cunha, Carleton drop to 6th in conference reach ITA final Two teams took the field with a chance to win the ACC championship Friday night in Winston-Salem in Duke’s regular season finale.

Unfortunately for the No. 11 Blue Devils, they couldn’t 0 DUKE keep pace WAKE 3 with No. 4 Wake Forest as the Demon Deacons (13-3-2, 5-21 in the ACC) clinched a share of the regular season conference title with a 3-0 win at Spry Stadium.

Despite rolling into the match on a five-game winning streak, Duke (12-5-0, 4-4-0) couldn’t maintain the momentum as Wake Forest notched its fist tally only 14 minutes into the first half. The Demon Deacons’ Andy Lubahn was able to win a battle against the Blue Devil defense in the box and finish a cross from teammate Justin Lichtfuss.

Coming into the match, it was clear that Duke’s defense would be tested by the Demon Deacons’ powerful offense, which averages almost 17 shots per game. Wake Forest did not disappoint, and kept creating opportunities after its goal.

Off a set piece midway through the first period, the Demon Deacons were able to pass the ball into the Duke box, where Lubahn

ripped a shot just wide, barely missing his second goal of the match.

The Blue Devils managed to put together a couple of scoring attempts before halftime, but headers by junior Christian Ibeagha and freshman Ryan Finley both missed the target.

The beginning of the second half saw more of the same, as the Demon Deacons continued to batter the Duke defense. The Blue Devils’ backs could only hold the fort for seven minutes before Zack Schilawski knocked home

his own rebound to make it 2-0.

Duke never quite managed to reverse the tide and spent the rest of the second half scrambling to prevent the Demon Deacons from scoring again. The coup de grâce came in the 73rd minute when Chris Estridge put the game out of reach with Wake Forest’s third goal.

Up next for the Blue Devils is the ACC tournament. Duke begins play Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. against Boston College in Cary, N.C. —from staff reports

Reid Carleton and Henrique Cunha finally ran into a doubles team they couldn’t keep up with Sunday morning, as the Duke duo lost in three sets to finish runnersup at the ITA National Indoor Championships hosted by Yale.

“I was really proud we hung in there and kept battling when things weren’t looking good,’ head coach Ramsey Smith said. “Reid and Henrique showed the resilience they have had all fall. We just came up a little short.”

Carleton, a junior, and Cunha, a freshman, earned a spot in the national competition by winning the ITA Carolina Regional in mid-October, and they made the most of their appearance in New Haven, Conn., over the weekend. In the first round of the 16-team draw, the pair won 8-4, and in the quarterfinals, Duke’s top team defeated a highly ranked pair from USC to advance to the semifinals.

At that stage, the competition changed dramatically. The Blue Devils’ opponents got even better, and every match became longer and more intense: the winning team now needed to take two out of three standard

sets instead of just winning one eight-game pro set.

Cunha and Carleton’s opponents in the semifinals, Texas A&M’s Jeff Dadamo and Austin Krajicek, came out firing and won a 6-3 first set. The Blue Devil duo recovered to take the second, and in what Smith called “one of the best efforts I’ve ever seen from a Duke team,” Carleton and Cunha reached the finals with a tiebreaker win in the third set of play.

Duke fought back in the finals just as it had in the previous round, but this time, Carleton and Cunha were beaten. Facing the tournament’s third seed, Stanford’s Bradley Klahn and Ryan Thacher, the Blue Devils fell behind by a set early, but won the second set to set up a championship-deciding third. In those final games, though, the Stanford duo dictated play to earn the 6-2 win.

Carleton and Cunha are the first Duke players to reach the ITA doubles final since 1996.

They went 17-3 in the fall season, their first playing together.

“Reid and Henrique have clearly proven they are a top-5 doubles team in the country,” Smith said.

“I can’t wait to start the dual match season in January.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Seawolves eaten up by Blue Devil D

by Alex Krinsky The chronicle

The Seawolves made the long journey from Anchorage, Alaska to play the Blue Devils in Cameron Indoor Stadium, but a balanced offensive attack and a staunch defense resulted in an overwhelming Duke victory. The Blue Devils had five players score in double digits and won their final exhibition contest, 100-32.

“I liked a lot of things we did, the second half in particular in terms of intensity and positioning the defense better,” head coach Joanne P. 32 McCallie said. “Offensively, I just UAA liked the fact that we were atDUKE 100 tacking all the time. We worked on a lot of different defenses and combinations, which was great.”

Alaska-Anchorage, ranked No. 8 in the preseason Division II poll, challenged No. 6 Duke early behind the shooting of senior guard Tamar Gruwell. Gruwell was 3-for-5 from behind the arc in the first half, and after five minutes of play the game was tied at 10.

“I just think that they’re a feisty, good team and you can tell why they’re ranked,” McCallie said. “Early on, I thought it was great to see a shooter come out like No. 14 [Gruwell] did and just right away grab your attention. I just thought it was good for us.”

A ferocious full-court press helped the Blue Devils take control of the game quickly, though. The Seawolves were overhwlemed by the pressure and were unable to cross the halfcourt stripe on three straight possessions in the first half. Over the course of the game, Duke forced 33 turnovers, and accumulated 24 points off turnovers.

“The one thing we tried to do with this was see the best and I think the pressure they put on us is something we probably won’t see again,” Alaska-Anchorage head coach Tim Moser said. “There are some teams at our level that do it, but their length and athleticism, it’s something we want to see.”

On the perimeter, junior Karima Christmas was on fire from behind the arc. She was 4-for-4 on 3-point field goals and scored 16 points in the first half.

“I’m pushing the timing. Hit people when they’re open. Find people when they’re ready,” McCallie said.

“I think we have some excellent shooters on this team, but you have to put yourself in the right position, too.

You have to let things come to you. Karima did a great See w. basketball on page 12

After a disappointing loss against No. 16 Florida State (22-2, 13-1 in the ACC) and a strong win against Miami (159, 8-6), Duke comes back to Durham both eager to work on what can be improved and proud of DUKE 2 what it accomplished.

Around the acc Home team on left:

No. 7 Ga Tech 30 - 27 Wake Wake Forest lost to a ranked team in overtime for the second straight week, and Georgia Tech remained on pace to win the ACC Coastal Division behind a clutch performance from quarterback Josh Nesbitt. The Yellow Jackets will win the division if they beat Duke next week.

No. 12 Miami 52 - 17 UVA The Hurricanes brushed off a sloppy second quarter to rout Virginia and get back on track in conference play. Running back Graig Cooper ran for 152 yards and the Miami pass defense completely shut down the Cavalier offense to help the Hurricanes win going away.

Thearon Collier also contributed to the win with a spectacular 60-yard punt return for a touchdown.

Clemson 40 - FSU 24 An uncharacteristic performance from Seminole quarterback Christian Ponder and a typically spectacular evening from Clemson running back C.J. Spiller helped the Tigers take another step toward the ACC title game. Ponder threw four interceptions in the loss, and Spiller had 312 all-purpose yards.

N.C. State 38 - 31 Maryland N.C. State broke out of a miserable four-game losing streak to keep Maryland in the ACC cellar. The Terrapins racked up just 270 total yards of offense and failed to contain Wolfpack quarerback Russell Wilson.

to develop and things like that, so they did a great job of scheming it up.”

Duke’s sole bright spot was in the kick return game, where solid runbacks from wide receivers Johnny Williams and Conner Vernon accounted for 132 yards and solid starting field position on a number of drives. The Tar Heel defense, however, made it tough for Duke to even threaten for a touchdown on offense. Perhaps the closest Duke came to a six-point score was Leon Wright’s interception return in the third quarter, but the senior corner was pushed out of bounds along the left sideline at the North Carolina 37-yard line.

“I was hoping Leon was going to score with it,” Cutcliffe said. “I was trying to block for him, all I could mentally, because we were struggling so much offensively.”

But in the end, Duke’s inability to stop the physical rushing attack of the Tar Heels was its main undoing. With the bruising wishbone offense of Georgia Tech—ranked second in the country in rushing offense—on tap next weekend, the Blue Devils must learn from their tough rivalry game loss.

“We have to totally immerse ourselves in the learning experience and getting better, and go out now and try to play our best football game of the year next Saturday,” Cutcliffe said.

the services of starting kicker Will Snyderwine, who tweaked his quadriceps during pregame warmups, Cutcliffe elected to go for it instead of try a 52-yard field goal on a key 4thand-4 from the UNC 35-yard line with just over 13 mintues remaining. On the play, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis’s pass was deflected at the line by North Carolina linebacker Bruce Carter, and the Tar Heels took over on downs.

“If Bruce doesn’t get his hand on the ball, it is a completion,” Lewis said. “It’s kind of like chess, you have to gamble sometimes. We did, and they came out on top on that play.”

Cutcliffe said after the game that he likely would have gone for the field goal had Snyderwine—who successfully kicked five field goals last week at Virginia—been available, but he didn’t feel comfortable with backup kicker Nick Maggio’s range or the decision to punt in the situation. After taking possession, North Carolina stormed down the field on a 12-play, 65 yard drive capped by a 3-yard Jheranie Boyd touchdown scamper that put the Tar Heels up 16-6 with 6:57 to play.

“I wanted to be aggressive, and I went out there and told our defense that I wouldn’t have done that if I didn’t believe in them,” Cutcliffe said. “To Carolina’s credit, I guess they converted two or three third downs on that drive and went down and scored. They did what they had to do.”

But even before the fourth quarter, North Carolina asserted its dominance in the run game, maintaining possession for long stretches and making it incredibly difficulty for the high-octane Duke offense to hit its stride.

Houston, who is normally the Tar Heels’ second-string and short-yardage back, stepped up in the first quarter after a shoulder injury sidelined starter Shaun Draughn and utilized a punishing, physical running style to average 4.4 yards per carry on a career-high 37 rushes. North Carolina’s successful smashmouth game plan led to a huge imbalance in time of possession—the Tar Heels had the ball for 38:33 compared to Duke’s 21:27 minutes of possession—and effectively wore down the Duke defense by the fourth quarter.

On the other side of the ball, the Tar Heels did an outstanding job of pressuring Lewis and tightly covering Duke’s receiving corps. Lewis was sacked three times but was pressured heavily throughout the game, often leading him to be flushed out of the pocked after the Tar Heels overloaded a blitz to a particular side. Further complicating matters, tight man defense on Duke’s wide receivers meant that the Blue Devil wideouts struggled to get separation in time for Lewis to make a play.

Duke’s output of 113 passing yards was the team’s worst showing in that category all season.

“They just have great guys up front,” Lewis said. “Those guys did a great job. Pressing up man, routes take a bit longer Despite being surrounded by several Duke defenders, Tar Heel running back Ryan Ho

attack dooms Duke

by Joe Drews The chronicle

CHAPEL HILL — For more than a month, Duke has had a virtually nonexistent running game, but it hadn’t mattered until Saturday.

In the Blue Devils’ biggest game in years, their onedimensional offense finally caught up to them, and their three-game winning streak came to a screeching halt against North Carolina.

Duke rushed for 12 yards on 19 carries Saturday, but unlike the previous four contests, the passing attack—which entered Saturday as the seventh-best in the country—did not make up for that lack of production. After throwing for 383 yards per game in that span, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis had just 113 yards on 16-of-33 passing at Kenan Stadium.

The running game, which had averaged 1.4 yards per carry since Oct. 3, struggled even more than usual. Except for back-to-back Lewis scrambles in the third quarter which gained 33 combined yards, Duke was stopped within a few yards of the line of scrimmage on nearly every attempt.

“Against a team that relies so exclusively and heavily on the ability to throw the football, you always wanted it to stay a one-dimensional game,” North Carolina head coach Butch Davis said. “Our defense took the right approach, that we didn’t allow any kind of running game to get generated to start the ballgame.

You don’t want to have to start cheating the box and devoting

a whole lot of extra people to stopping the run.”

Because the Tar Heels did not have to stack the box to slow the Blue Devils’ running backs, they were able to focus on stopping the passing game.

Lewis never seemed to find a rhythm. Even in the first half, when Duke stayed within a field goal of North Carolina, the offense sputtered to just six first downs and 82 total yards.

“Offensively, we struggled so much that we couldn’t protect the quarterback as well as we had hoped,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “They got in and played tight man coverage for a large percentage of the time, and we didn’t separate very well or very quickly, so their rush got to Thad. Thad got hit way too much.”

The struggling offense didn’t just hurt the Blue Devils on the scoreboard, where they put up their lowest point total since Nov. 22, 2008.

Combined with the Tar Heels’ powerful running game, it allowed North Carolina to dominate time of possession.

The Tar Heels had the ball for 38:33 to Duke’s 21:27.

The Blue Devils’ bend-butdon’t-break defense held the Tar Heels to a pair of field goals before intermission, but it was only a matter of time before North Carolina broke through.

With Duke wearing down in the second half, the Tar Heels scored 13 unanswered points to take over the contest.

In the fourth quarter, they capped a six-minute drive with a Jheranie Boyd touchdown to go up by 10 and all but put the

“I think [the offense was] fine,” Lewis said. “But with the defense out there on the field a long time, I’m pretty sure they get tired on those long drives.”

“In the fourth quarter, I really felt like they were getting fatigued because I was getting a lot of arm tackles,” said North Carolina running back Ryan Houston, who torched the Blue Devils for a career-high 164 yards. “I was running through all the tackles, and they weren’t pressing me as much as they were in the first quarter.”

As a result, Houston helped

his team put together that long fourth-quarter drive to keep the Victory Bell in Chapel Hill. Duke dropped to 1-19 in its last 20 meetings with its Tobacco Road rivals, and the Blue Devil seniors suffered yet another heartbreaking loss to North Carolina.

In the end, much of that was because Duke couldn’t do what it had done for more than a month: hide its deficiencies in the running game.

“When you’re unable to run the ball like we’ve been, somebody as good as they are exposed us,” Cutcliffe said. “We just didn’t get it done.”

job of letting the game come to her.”

Duke came out in the second half with a relentless defense, allowing only 10 points. Point guard Jasmine Thomas led an aggressive offensive attack, scoring 14 of her 20 points in the second half while helping spread the ball around to get different players involved.

“I just like to see us play off of each other,” Thomas said. “In practice, you don’t always get to play with different people... but to come into the game and get put in with a different group of people, I think that’s going to pay off for us in the long run.”

Freshmen Allison Vernerey and Alexis Rogers both had an impact, scoring 18 and 10 points, respectively.

The size of the two freshmen was key in creating mismatches for the Blue Devils, who outrebounded the Seawolves 45-19. Vernerey led the team with 10 boards, registering a double-double on the night.

Rogers displayed her improving versatility, which did not go unnoticed by McCallie.

“She’s an interesting person to coach. She’s pretty flexible,” McCallie said. “She did some things today that she’s never done in practice, meaning I put her in some positions today that she’s never played before. I think she’s a very durable, versatile player, and she’s definitely getting better.”

recovered to win the fourth, 25-21, sending the contest to a fifth game. Yet despite Duke’s efforts at a comeback, the Seminoles won 15-11 to maintain ACC supremacy.

While the match was challenging, sophomore setter Kellie Catananch successfully used her outside hitters and sent a combined 101 attacks to Rachael Moss and Sophia Dunworth. Dunworth ended the match with 15 kills while Moss finished with 20 for her ninth double-double of the season. Although the duo put up impressive numbers, Dunworth commented on how the success on the outside was an entire team effort.

“I think we were connecting really well with Kellie [Catanach] and the outsides were working really well this weekend,” Dunworth said. “But I also think that the middles did a great job of pulling blockers, which made it easier for the outsides. Also the coaches did a great job of telling us where to place our hits and we did a good job of executing.”

The Blue Devils (22-5, 12-3) effectively dominated Miami Sunday and controlled play in a convincing 3-0 win.

Game scores of 25-17, 25-12 and 25-18 sent a message to ACC opponents that the Blue Devils are serious competitors who refuse to let a loss affect future play. Moss had another solid match with 11 kills, three aces and eight digs. Middle blockers Christiana Gray and Becci Burling added in eight and six kills, respectively, and Gray finished the match with a .583 hitting percentage and seven blocks. Burling and Gray’s efforts in the middle made it difficult for Miami to successfuly work its offense.

Head coach Jolene Nagel was impressed with the Blue Devils’ ability focus on the Hurricanes and stressed the importance of keeping post-season play in mind.

“I’m very proud how the team came out against Miami,” Nagel said. “They executed after a disappointing loss. They came out beautifully against Miami, played with confidence and came together. It’s really easy to get tired of being around each other, and I think the team is managing that very well. We would have loved to get the Florida State match, but I think if we continue to stick together and keep working hard to get better, we are going to be successful in the postseason.”

The Blue Devils head to the state of Virginia next weekend to face Virginia Tech and Virginia.

the independence of the atlarge members and the fairness of the process as a whole, an elected special secretary for the YT process—working separately from DSG—should choose these at-large members and chair the process of YT selection.

The integrity of the Nominating Committee is also compromised by a lack of any mechanism to select the six student group presidents who will sit on it. A better proposal would explicitly pass this responsibility to the ICC. And to minimize conflict of interest on the Nominating Committee, the by-law should stipulate that any organization whose president is applying for Young Trustee may not send a proxy member.

When it comes to the actual selection of Young Trustee from the three finalists, the

current proposal is especially flawed. It places 50 percent of the final vote in the hands of DSG and 50 percent in the hands of the Nominating Committee. Overall, compared to the old selection model, this change increases the voting power of DSG and eliminates any role for the ICC. It makes sense to include the Nominating Committee in the final selection of the Young Trustee because its members have spent ample time and effort interviewing the finalists and reviewing their applications.

But because a third of this committee is composed of DSG members and the selection of another third of the committee—the at-large members—is controlled by DSG, this one organization directly receives 50 percent of the vote and holds sway over

a majority of the Nominating Committee’s 50 percent.

The selection mechanism under Turner’s proposal is inadequate, concentrating DSG’s power and reinforcing the perception that only students who are involved with DSG or possess an organizational title have any shot at becoming the Young Trustee.

Instead, the final selection of the Young Trustee should be split between the Nominating Committee and a student body election with only juniors and seniors eligible to vote. As we will explain in tomorrow’s editorial, this would increase transparency, heighten student interest and create a fairer process.

The plan Turner submitted last Wednesday is not reform. But with the right amendments, it’s not too late to make it work.

uch ado about elections this week.

Jesus Christie, R-N.J., savior of the Republican Party, deals a striking blow to the socialist agenda by whomping incumbent governor Jon Corzine on a platform of being not Jon Corzine.

As New Jersey is a swing state, this is proof positive that Sarah Palin will be the next monday, monday President of the i am United States of charlotte simmons America. Bill Bell and the incumbents clean up shop in Durham, with but one global impact: making me realize that Bill Bell and the Incumbents would be a great name for a band. Abdullah “So Nice, We Named It Twice” Abdullah withdrew from the Afghan election.

One of these things is not like the other. That Abdullah thing is big news. Big news that got me thinking about small news.

Do you remember that one huge election that got everyone’s pulse quickening recently? Yeah, I knew you were on the same page—I’m talking about the Special Secretary for the Young Trustee Process election. Heavy campaigning, hard issues debated in depth, mobilizing the bases on both sides of the aisle. I know, I’m getting excited thinking about it, too!

I use Duke-related analogies to help me understand the whole Abdullah (you can decide whether I’m being a proper journalist or unnecessarily informal, that’s the best part of the same first name-last name combo) ordeal. It’s as if Ben Getson had dropped out of the Special Secretary for the Young Trustee Process race, ceding it to favorite Amanda Turner. Only Afghanistan had a higher turnout, and their position is more symbolic than ours. And less capable of, you know, doing stuff.

Seriously. Duke Student Government is a much more centralized, effective sovereign power than the central government in Kabul. Between 2004 and today, Hamid Karzai has taken the glowing ember of stability and corruptionfree in Afghanistan and snuffed it out with his snazzy-looking sleeves. Between early September and today, Amanda Turner has held a number of open forums and crafted a proposal for a new Young Trustee selection process.

And while I’m not exaggerating the tragicomic shortcomings of Afghanistan, I may be

hyping the Young Trustee reform project a bit too much. For one, about as many people came to these open forums as I had funny jokes in my first couple of columns. And that’s not too many.

Yet another case of a number of annoying people clamoring for DSG transparency, and then not partaking of it when they do get it. So, despite the lack of input from the student body (due to lack of interest from the student body), the process was as transparent as Saran wrap.

Still, when it comes down to it, not too much changes in the proposed reforms. Here are the big points, chewed up and regurgitated into more digestible packages: 1) The Young Trustee is selected before February, whereas before, it was near the end of the Spring semester. Realistically, this won’t achieve the intended goal of freeing the Young Trustee candidates up for rush, but it’s a nice thought.

(And yes, I will find a way to characterize every new policy as pro-fraternity).

2) The Young Trustee nominating committee is made up of six people from DSG, six people from the artist formerly known as ICC and six randos selected by DSG. For those of you keeping track at home, that’s 18: 33 percent ICC, 33 percent DSG, 33 percent buddies of people in DSG. Fine. But in the spirit of keeping up with the Karzais, I think we can use our symbolic election to make even greater changes. Now, when I think about what my ideal Young Trustee process would look like, it would probably look like Zac Efron.

He’s hot. On a more practical level, it would have three main points of reform: 1) After the dissociation of Inter-Community Council from DSG, the nominating committee needed to be reconstituted to be more representative of the student body. It now consists of just Larry Moneta. While Dr. Moneta is on sabbatical, I will hold that seat. Everyone universally agrees that I have reasoned, representative opinions about Duke. (Phhttrrrbbh.)

2) In an attempt to make the process more transparent, closed-door meetings will be held in a Link classroom, where walls are transparent.

3) When the selection committee has settled upon three finalists for the Young Trustee position, the winner will be selected by a three-way, no holds barred mixed martial arts bout on the plaza.

It’s all food for thought as we reflect on our most important local election in this greater season of elections.

Charlotte Simmons reformed your Young Trustee… in bed!

Disappointments

E

very now and then even the most effortlessly perfect among us run up against a string of disappointments.

The past few days have been fraught with disappointments for me.

The first disappointment came Wednesday night as the Yankees won the World Series. I’m from Boston, so the only thing worse than the Red Sox losing is the Yankees winning.

No longer could I use my joke about feeling bad for all those 7-year-old Yankees fans who had never seen a championship in their lifetime. To put it in perspective, when Joe Torre left the Yankees, I felt like I had run downstairs bradford colbert on Christmas morning and the other side found a pony. Seeing the Yankees win was like finding a used shovel to clean out the pony’s stable. Merry Christmas.

I went to sleep after the game and woke up for senior registration, when I had one of my worst ACES outings ever.

ACES is supposed to get easier when you’re a senior registering first, right? Wrong. At one point Thursday morning, I was on four waitlists. After 45 minutes of additional bookbagging, I had pieced together a workable schedule, but it was far from my ideal Dream Senior Spring Schedule.

Then on Saturday, I made the journey out to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan Stadium to cheer on the Blue Devils against UNC. If you need a reminder of how that went, flip back to the front page of this newspaper.

The loss wasn’t entirely surprising, but it was still a reality check for some of the biggest-dreaming fans.

For me the biggest disappointment was when my New England Revolution were knocked out of the Major League Soccer playoffs. Yeah, that’s right, I’m an MLS fan, maybe the only one on this campus. Without dwelling on the intricacies of the playoff format, New England was knocked out of the tournament by one goal.

Life, and spectator sports in particular, provide ample opportunities for broken spirits. We get excited for things, and circumstances beyond our control get in the way of the result that would make us the happiest.

Of course, not everything in the last week has been a disappointment. President Obama decided that the census is allowed to count gay marriages. Regardless of your politics on the issue, this should be seen as a victory for accuracy—why even bother with a census if you’re going to take deliberately false data? If a state recognizes a couple as legally married, you might as well count them as such instead of pretending they’re single.

And of course, the Wall fell. Not the Berlin Wall, which fell 20 years ago—I mean that spray-painted wall that was built on campus last week commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall.

I guess I never fully understood how building a wall separating most of residential west from everything to the east really commemorated another wall coming down, so when parts of the wall began gradually falling over towards the end of the week, I saw it as a proud sign of reunification.

If I’m looking for the silver lining, I could say that I’m looking forward to the classes in which I did end up enrolling.

Also, we had beautiful weather for the UNC game, and aside from the poorly designed, impossibly congested concourse, Kenan Stadium was actually pretty nice-looking.

When it comes to the Revs, though, I don’t want to look at the bright side. We’ve made the playoffs in 10 of the league’s 14 seasons, and we’ve made it to three finals, but we’ve never won the championship. A part of me thinks that I’ll never see the Revs win the MLS Cup in my lifetime.

And when there is so much soccer out there on TV of significantly higher quality than the MLS, sometimes I start to wonder why I sit through these games and let myself get so emotionally invested.

But no, I told myself I’d end the column optimistically. In sports, there’s always next year. And really, we don’t even have to wait that long—in soccer, I can jump straight into the European leagues that are just hitting full stride, and here at Duke, we are only days away from the tip-off of basketball season.

The losses are only temporary disappointment.

And hey, as far as registration goes, I could be a student in the University of California system. Out there, you’re fighting to get enough classes to maintain the full-time student status you need for your financial aid package to kick in. If you’re really lucky, you might even graduate in under six years.

So here’s to a senior Spring that will actually be my last semester here.

Confucian opportunities

O

ne of the beautiful things about this University is the widespread disregard for the stuffy notion of “prerequisites.” At least in the humanities and social sciences, most courses admit students on the apparent principle that if they want to take a class and are willing to do the necessary parsing of the material—even if they have little to no applicable background knowledge— they have every right to give it the Ol’ Col- connor southard lege Try. dead poet But if you’ve got just a dash of latent hubris—hey, Coach K says that he prefers players with big egos, as long as they have the game to back them up—you might find yourself in over your head from time to time. You’ll realize a few weeks after the end of drop-add that maybe knowing something (anything) about stats would have been nice before slotting yourself into a statistical modeling class.

Or maybe you’ll end up in a philosophy class in which everyone else seems able to draw on crucial Kantian concepts and possesses a familiarity with logical notation, whereas your exposure to Kant is limited to AP European History practice tests. That’s more or less where I’ve found myself this semester— I still don’t know why it’s somehow logical to use a backwards “E” for anything.

Funnily enough, I wound up in Philosophy 138, “Early Analytic Philosophy,” out of a desire to become familiar with the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, a prickly Austrian with an outsized biography and a popular reputation for gnomic incomprehensibility. So, I took a difficult class for which I was not ideally prepared (no blame to my two instructors; they’ve been very helpful) because I wanted to be graded on my analysis of a philosopher whose work is regarded as opaque even among academics. Score one for hubris?

Maybe a little bit, but I’m willing to give it the Ol’ College Try. Giving it a try is probably all that you can realistically do with Wittgenstein. In his “Tractatus LogicoPhilosophicus,” he refuses to define his terms, makes it clear that he was not working to create any kind of “textbook” and progresses through his arguments like Shakespeare’s Henry V unto the breach: he charges

ahead, taking only as much time to explain his approach as he deems necessary.

The beautiful thing about the “Tractatus” is that Wittgenstein doesn’t wish to make some special secret of his thesis. He states it overtly in the book’s brief introduction, and it has a Zen ring to it: “What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.” Sound more like Confucius-themed fortune cookie or a Western, stodgily “academic” text?

You decide, but for my money, I’m looking to Panda Express. Needless to say, such an analogy would have driven Wittgenstein nuts. Imagine the reddest-faced Austrian you’ve ever seen shaking his fist, and tell me you don’t smile.

That perhaps counter-intuitive association is born out of my lifelong addiction to associative thinking—it’s a daily struggle. But it’s also a small declaration of independence. Independence, that is, from excessive reverence.

So kudos to Duke for not sweating the prereq thing as much as we as a University otherwise might: freedom to choose is something that even those of us who aren’t Milton Friedman fans can appreciate. What’s more, it’s encouraging to see even a small step towards de-mystifying high level academics. Too often, the wordy “thought” that makes up the body of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences is treated as a sober, dry set of dictations that are not to be questioned or thought of with anything less than perfect reverence. If we buy into that ideal, we don’t just miss out on a few laughs, we miss out on the intellectual growth that accompanies the personal appropriation of ideas.

Not that either fractiousness or combative cynicism is the order of the day; that would hardly become such a fine group of scholars as we lot. But what do you see when you look at a pile of reading (especially for a class that doesn’t play to your strengths, but challenges your weaknesses)? Does it look like a heap of knowledge to be retained for an exam, or an opportunity to converse with a subject, to question it and make it your own? I’m willing to bet that you’d rather see the latter one: opportunities over heaps.

And besides, if I’m going to stay up all night giving my Wittgenstein paper the College Try, I’m not going to pass over the fun parts of my thoughts in silence.
