13 DSG Devil’s Bistro opens on Central candidates disqualified

by Sanette Tanaka THE CHRONICLE

App deadline extension deemed unconstitutional

by Matthew Chase THE CHRONICLE

Since campaigning for the second round of Duke Student Government elections began last week, campus has seen an increase in flyers and Facebook groups advertising students seeking Senate, vice presidential or class positions.

But some of those campaigners can no longer run for office.

In a meeting Friday, the DSG Judiciary ruled an extension of the campaign packet deadline unconstitutional. The campaign packets, which qualify students to run for positions, were initially due April 2 at 5 p.m., but DSG Attorney General Var Shankar, a senior, extended the deadline to April 7 at 5 p.m. Students who submitted campaign applications after the initial deadline are now disqualified.

“The attorney general is provided the right to set the original deadline; however, creating a new deadline after the initial deadline passes is not an explicit constitutional right of the attorney See election on page 6

Students line up outside the Devil’s Bistro on Central Campus during Campus Council’s “Grand Central” party Friday evening. The event celebrated the restaurant and Mill Village openings after months of delays.

The long-awaited Devil’s Bistro restaurant and Mill Village on Central Campus is finally open after months of construction and delays.

Campus Council hosted an opening called “Grand Central” in conjunction with the group’s 15th birthday celebration Friday.

The Devil’s Bistro is located at the former site of Uncle Harry’s General Store, which closed last June. The adjacent Mill Village includes the new Uncle Harry’s, an exercise facility, an activity center and a conference room.

“I regret that [the opening has] taken so long, but I’m glad it came out as well as it did,” said Steve Nowicki, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education.

More than 1,000 students arrived for the opening, said Campus Council Programming Chair Betsy Klein, a sophomore. Although Campus Council originally planned for 500 attendees, everyone eventually got inside the restaurant.

The event featured a henna artist, a photo booth, live music performances, giveaways and samples of the Bistro’s food.

Junior Kathryn Hutchins said the combination of free alcohol, a bar and giveaways all located inside the restaurant resulted in the long lines.

“I just think it wasn’t very thought through,” Hutchins said.

The opening of Mill Village was delayed several times because of inclement weather See central on page 9

Freshman Gurdane Bhutani, who is running unopposed for DSG vice president for student affairs, said he wants to study student’s rights.

Freshman Gurdane Bhutani was never involved in student government during high school, but when he came to Duke, he saw problems he wanted to help address.

As the only candidate for Duke Student Government’s vice president for student affairs, Bhutani, currently a senator for student affairs, said he hopes to lead his committee toward improving student life on campus. He is running unopposed after junior Will Passo, vice president for Durham and regional affairs, decided to drop out of the race.

“I think the most important thing that our committee needs to do is to work with the administrators to clarify students’ rights,” Bhutani said. “Right now, admins can read any student’s Duke e-mail inbox, and check students’ rooms during breaks.”

He said he also hopes to increase funding for music and arts programs, such as increasing the length of Duke Arts Weekend to an entire week. Promoting music

National mourning in Poland for President Kaczynski WARSAW — Poland’s strong mix of patriotism and grief was on display Sunday for the second day in a row, with a nation united in sorrow and pride mourning the death of President Lech Kaczynski and hailing him as a champion of their national identity.

Warsaw, the capital, fell silent at noon, when sirens wailed and a moment of national reflection was observed. Later, tens of thousands of people, some weeping, lined the streets from the airport and

crowded the city center to view Kaczynski’s body being returned to the presidential palace, where it will lie pending funeral arrangements.

An elegant esplanade in front of the palace was so jammed that many could not move; police and girl scouts had to lock arms to prevent the crowd from destroying islands of votive lamps that have been flickering green, red and yellow since news of Kaczynski’s death in a plane crash broke Saturday morning.

Obama cautioned not to In-flight smoking common appoint “idealogue” judge WASHINGTON — Passengers smoke on U.S. jetliners at least twice a week, according to authorities, breaking the law without creating an international incident like an episode last week.

The Federal Aviation Administration has brought 696 cases, some for civil fines of thousands of dollars, against people caught smoking aboard airliners in the last five years, said Diane Spitaliere, an agency spokeswoman. Lighting a cigarette on a plane has been banned for 20 years.

“People do not always act in a rational or sane manner,” said Richard Bloom, director of terrorism and security studies at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama may have a fight on his hands if he names an “ideologue” to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court, Republicans say.

“I don’t know whether they will show any self-restraint or whether they will just try to jam through an ideologue, which of course would provoke a lot of fireworks,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Stevens, a leader of the court’s liberal wing who turns 90 on April 20, announced April 9 he will step down when the high court concludes its term around the end of June. The Senate last year confirmed Obama’s first Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, with nine Republican votes.

South African cleric shares stories from apartheid

by Ann Kang THE CHRONICLE

Archbishop Walter Paul Khotso Makhulu brought insights on leadership and faith to a conversation in the Divinity School Friday afternoon.

The event, sponsored by the Center for International Studies’ Concilium on South Africa, was held in the School’s Alumni Commons room.

Makhulu, emeritus archbishop of the province of Central Africa for the Anglican Church, ran an underground railroad for refugees in South Africa during apartheid, and also served as a president of the World Council of Churches and All Africa Conference of Churches. He was interviewed by Karin Shapiro, visiting associate professor of history, and John Allen, who wrote the authorized biography of Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

The conversation was part of an extensive oral interview by Shapiro and Allen. It consisted of questions about Makhulu’s life, mainly dealing with apartheid and his work to end it.

Makhulu recalled his childhood in South Africa, during which each member of his family was labeled and classified according to skin color. Makhulu said his family did not allow him to be limited by the color of his skin.

For example, he recalled his father saying, “My son, we know what we are. No one defines us.”

He talked further about his experience living through apartheid. When asked why he worked to save people through the underground railroad, he said as a preacher he was impelled to do so.

“You can’t dwell in heaven and heavenly things when people around you are struck by earthly things,” Makhulu said.

The conversation also touched on his experiences as a leader for different groups—gangsters, refugees, church members and influential dignitaries. Shapiro emphasized his unique leadership.

“He acted in a quiet way—of course, he had to of necessity—and he was helping the liberation movements and margaux mcaulay/The Chronicle

Extremists call for N.C. governor to resign

by Rohan Taneja THE CHRONICLE

As part of its call for drastic reduction of the U.S. government, Guardians of the Free Republics, a political extremist group, called for North Carolina Gov. Beverley Perdue’s resignation last week.

The governor expected such a letter after a warning from the Federal Bureau of Investigation last week, Perdue spokesperson Chrissy Pearson said. The Guardians told Perdue to resign within three days.

“She has obviously not resigned, but we are treating this like any other threat and her security detail has been informed,” Pearson said.

Similar letters had been sent to dozens of other governors across the United States, and the FBI is investigating the incident, Pearson said. According to the groups’s Web site, the organization is non-violent.

The Guardians believe that the United States was dissolved

in 1861 when House and Senate delegations left for the Confederacy, Michael Munger, chair of the political science department, wrote in an e-mail. From the group’s perspective, this left no quorum in Congress and there has been no de jure national government since that date, Munger explained.

“She has obviously not resigned, but we are treating this like any other threat and her security detail has been informed.”

ments de facto governments organized around the federal law of corporations, Munger said.

He said it seems that the Guardians believe the federal judiciary will actively support their views.

“The claim is utterly [without] merit under any reading of American history, not just a reading of constitutional law,” Munger said. “The letters to the governors, in short, are either a rather pathetic publicity stunt, or evidence that one can come to some truly strange conclusions if one thinks and writes too long in isolation.”

On their site, the Guardians call themselves “original government” revolutionaries, guided by a broad “Restore America Plan.” FBI Special Agent J.J. Klaver told The Philadelphia Inquirer that the group rejects all forms of government and the responsibilities associated with being a U.S. citizen.

The Guardians’ site openly rejects the role of today’s American government.

“If you are tired of being subjected to a corporation posing as a legitimate government that would arrest you for refusing to pray to corporate courts or give up your land or pay taxes to the Rothschilds or exhibit a state-issued confession of subject-class citizenship, then we invite you to read the one page [unanimous Declaration],” the site reads.

According to the Web site, restoring the “wealth of the People” requires stripping the national government of its taxing ability and disbanding federal organizations such as the FBI. They note that most of the work required to make this happen will occur in private.

“Restoration will occur behind the scenes in a manner designed to get results, not glory,” according to the group’s declaration.

Study links fructose intake to liver damge

In memoriam

by Maggie Love THE CHRONICLE

margie truwit/The Chronicle

Students light candles outside the Chapel Sunday evening to honor those who were killed during the Holocaust.

The vigil was organized by Jewish Life at Duke to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

As the battle over the potential harmfulness of high fructose corn syrup wages on, a study led by a Duke researcher has lent its support to the growing accord that increased fructose intake is detrimental to health.

Several recent studies in the national media have linked high fructose corn syrup to obesity. But a study released last month at Duke concludes that the common ingredient could also cause liver damage for individuals with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

In the study, Dr. Manal Abdelmalek, associate professor of medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Duke University Medical Center, and fellow researchers examined how consumption of fructose-containing drinks—such as Kool-Aid, fruit juices and non-diet soda—affected the livers of 427 patients with NAFLD. Based on their responses to a questionnaire, patients 48 and older who consumed fructose daily had increased liver scarring.

“Americans in general, since the development of industrialized foods, have been consuming more carbohydrates in the form of sugars,” Abdelmalek said. “The predominant sugar is fructose, which is predominantly in the form of high fructose corn syrup.”

The study’s results, however, have caused some outcry from corn syrup makers.

The Corn Refiners Association has asked Duke Medicine News and Communications to make a correction to its March 18 press release about the research.

Audrae Erickson, president of the Corn Refiners Association, said the organization believes the study examined the effects of abnormally high levels of pure fructose, which is harmful in a way that she believes high fructose corn syrup is not.

Dr. Abdelmalek, however, said that of the fructose-containing beverages studied, 93 percent contained high fructose corn syrup. She added that her results are only applicable to people with NAFLD and not necessarily the general population.

Franca Alphin, director of nutrition services at Duke Student Health, wrote in an e-mail that although there is not currently evidence that high fructose corn syrup is harmful to healthy individuals, everyone should try to limit their consumption of it.

“Overconsumption of HFCS is everywhere, including in the foods that are served [at Duke],” Alphin said. “We don’t specifically address this on campus, as there are more pressing nutrition and health issues at this time—although I think we’ll be hearing more about it.”

Shankar said a majority of the Election Commission and a majority of the Cabinet supported the change in election policy.

He added that Chief of Staff Mike Lefevre, a junior, approached Shankar April 5 requesting the extension because the initial deadline fell in the midst of the NCAA Final Four weekend and because the applications were only e-mailed to the student body Feb. 23. Lefevre is the DSG president-elect.

The ruling affected 13 students whose campaigns are now canceled. Of the four vice presidential positions, only the position of vice president for Durham and regional affairs is now contested. Before the ruling, three of the vice presidential positions were contested. In addition, 11 other Senate or class council races are uncontested.

Junior Ben Bergmann, an athletics and campus services senator who is running for re-election, was one of four campaigners who filed a complaint with the Judiciary.

Bergmann said he thought the deadline extension was an attempt to let certain people who had not submitted campaign packets run.

“One of my concerns was that the extension was in part an attempt to counteract the potential influence of certain people in DSG with preferred candidates,” Bergmann said, adding that Lefevre and President Awa Nur, a senior, influenced Shankar’s extension. “They looked at who was running three days after the fact and they

“I am very sorry that this happened to the 13 of them, I can’t image what that feels like,” Straus said in an interview. “We understand what an investment those people had. I wish I could notify them that this was not done to them, it was a decision we had to make.”

Straus said he invited “a whole slew” of DSG executive members via e-mail, adding that candidates affected by the decision could have attended the hearing, although he did not explicitly invite them.

But junior Julia Duzon, whose campaign for senior class president was canceled, said she was frustrated she did not hear about the hearing.

“We were never even told that there was going to be a hearing,” Duzon said.

“We never heard that there was a suit until the decision. We were the only ones that were affected by it, we should have been invited.”

Duzon said she was not able to hand in her campaign package before the original deadline because of the minimal amount of advertising for the positions. Although she said she had planned a year in advance to run for the position, she said she only remembered to apply when she received Lefevre’s April 5 e-mail to the student body announcing the extension.

Lefevre said the Senate will need to clarify its election procedures and increase advertising of positions in the upcoming year.

“It’s sort of a strange precedent that they have set—in order for it to be allowed it has to be in the constitution, and that’s kind of ridiculous,” said Lefevre, who added that many of the things DSG does are not explicitly included in the constitution. “There are all kinds of things we need to clarify.”

and arts is important because it fosters a diverse range of students and interests on campus, Bhutani noted.

“Gurdane understands what students need to better their experiences at Duke, and he knows where to go and who to talk to to make his projects happen,” said freshman Molly Superfine, who worked with Bhutani as a senator for student affairs.

During his term as a senator for student affairs, Bhutani primarily participated in informing students about healthy dining options and worked on proposals to create rain shelters at the West and East Campus bus stops and implement a Greek financial aid system.

Aside from DSG, Bhutani is involved in several organizations, including Dukes and Duchesses, Duke Debate and Honor Council. He plans to double major in economics and public policy studies and minor in philosophy.

“The Greek financial aid program is something I want to keep pursuing because students should not be limited by money in what they participate,” Bhutani said.

He explained that the program would be funded by alumni who were involved in Greek organizations. The endowment would cover Greek dues for students on financial aid. In the longer term, Bhutani hopes to expand it to selective living groups and other student clubs.

Bhutani said he also sees room for improvement within DSG. He aims to cooperate with the judiciary committee to make the Young Trustee election process clearer and fairer. He said DSG must be more transparent with their decisions and legislations. To address this issue, Bhutani and sophomore Pete Schork, vice president for athletics and campus services, recently passed a bill that created a permanent legislative archive online. Schork is the incoming executive vice president.

“Gurdane is a great listener in that he listens to information thoughtfully, synthesizes it and delivers a confident, well informed response,” Superfine said.

“He knows how to approach people with ideas and how to talk with administrators.”

people in South Africa who fought against apartheid,” Shapiro said.

“What students will learn is that leadership works in different ways.

Sometimes it’s through bold and dramatic acts and sometimes it’s quietly helping people and ensuring that people feel that they are valued, that there’s dignity in their lives—that they have money to educate their children, bury their dead, fight legal battles and work together in a union movement.”

This event also had an impact on some students. Makhulu spoke to Shapiro’s history class as well as in Randolph residence hall on East Campus. For junior Rose Filler, a history major who is writing a research paper on Makhulu, the event reshaped her image of the archbishop.

“Meeting him changed the whole way I was looking at my research because suddenly he wasn’t just someone that I was describing or researching about—he was a real human being,” she said. “So it was probably one of the coolest experiences I’ve had academically.”

When asked what his leadership meant to him on a personal level, Makhulu gave an answer focused on others.

“I’m a servant. That’s the first thing. I’m an enabler, helping other people because I believe essentially in people realizing their full potential,” Makhulu said. “I am not a solution. People must journey their own journey. But still they can be facilitated, yes.”

You’ve got to be able to bat,” McNally said.

“I feel pretty good about Will, and [Jeremy] Gould and Jake [Lemmerman] and [Will Piwnica]-Worms. They’re threats every time up and that’s been key for us.”

The series began in a high-scoring, backand-forth affair, with the Blue Devils rallying for five runs in the eighth inning to topple the Tigers, 10-9. Duke starter Christopher Manno gave up a season-high seven runs in five innings, but the bullpen held Clemson to just two runs the rest of the way.

Currier’s two-run homer in the third highlighted a four-run inning which gave the Blue Devils an early lead. But Ryan McCurdy was the hero for Duke, bailing out Manno by pushing a two-out bases-loaded bloop single into left field. Marcus Stroman scored from second to provide the game-winning run. “[McNally] has got us preparing really well

Although leading scorers Max Quinzani and Zach Howell scored just once each and NCAA assist leader Ned Crotty didn’t even collect a point, Duke (10-3) dismantled Presbyterian 19-8 at Koskinen Stadium Friday. The No. 6 Blue Devils outscored the Blue Hose (1-8) 11-3 in the first half and outshot their opponent 50-19 throughout the entire game.

The easy Duke victory, its eighth in a row, allowed head coach John Danowski to rest many of his and give PRES 8 starters playing time to othDUKE 19 ers who haven’t seen much action so far this year.

Junior Tucker Virtue made his first career start and scored the first two goals of the game, and he added one more score with a minute remaining in the first quarter. Virtue also dished out an assist and collected seven ground balls. “[It was] a great opportunity for some other guys to play who had been practicing as hard as everyone else since September,” Danowski said. “I think those guys made the most of that opportunity.”

Arnould battles as Duke wins two

by Sabreena Merchant THE CHRONICLE

Freshman Eddie Loftus exploded for six goals Friday in Duke’s easy home win over Presbyterian.

Dylan Arnould was laboring.

The senior had managed only one singles win in six prior ACC matches. His normally solid doubles pairing with David Holland had just lost for the first time in seven outings. And Arnould was locked in a grudge match on court four with Georgia Tech’s Miguel Muguruza, still grinding through his first set in the time it 3 took teammates Reid Carleton and GT Cunha to claim their sinDUKE 4 Henrique gles victories. He lost that first set a tiebreaker, 7-4, one of only two CLEM 2 in Blue Devils to drop their opening DUKE 5 set Saturday.

But as play wore on, Arnould finally started to find his rhythm.

He held serve in the second set and won the tiebreaker, 7-5. After the Yellow Jackets knotted the team score at three by winning No. 3 singles, Arnould finally started to create some separation by breaking Muguruza to go up 3-1. From then on, he breezed through the third set while his Georgia margie truwit/Chronicle file photo

Long 1st, Duke 2nd in Wolfpack Intercollegiate

by Nicholas Schwartz THE CHRONICLE

Chronicle file photo

Senior Adam Long’s 69-68 finish gave him his first tournament crown this weekend.

In what might be a preview of the ACC Championships in less than two weeks, Duke rode a final-day 281 to a second-place finish among an ACC-heavy field in Raleigh this past weekend. At the Lonnie Poole Golf Course on the campus of N.C. State, senior Adam Long—behind a gritty final-round 68—captured firstplace honors at the Wolfpack Intercollegiate with a one-shot win.

Long shot a 77 and 69 in two rounds Friday, and followed that up with a 68 in the third and final round Saturday to finish at 1-over par.

After two unspectacular rounds on the first day of competition, No. 26 Duke shot the low round of the day Saturday on the 7,358-yard Arnold Palmer design, and it took a high-level performance from each Blue Devil on what would prove to be moving day at the tournament.

The worst score of the day for Duke was a 1-over par 72 from Wes Roach—a testament to the Blue Devils’ depth.

“When they had an opportunity to stuff an iron [into the green] close for a good birdie look, they did that,” head coach Jamie Green said. “It was a good combination of calculated and aggressive play.”

Freshman Julian Suri was able to overcome a shaky start to his

second round and lurked near the top of the leaderboard all weekend with scores of 73-71-71.

After his 2-over 73 in the Friday morning session, it looked like Suri might slide down the standings after he bogeyed five of his first nine holes in the afternoon.

Suri stormed back, however, with four birdies in his next seven in a spotless final nine. An even-par final round gave Suri a score of 2-over and placed him in a tie for second individually, his third top10 finish of the year.

“There was a very stoic, determined look on his face,” Green said of Suri. “He was going to right the ship—it was just a matter of which holes and how soon.”

The round of the day, however, belonged to Long, who shot his second consecutive sub-70 round to vault ahead of the rest of the field.

Long came out of the gates firing Saturday, with four birdies in the first seven holes en route to a front-nine 32. The senior was able to atone for each of his two bogeys after the turn with birdies, and avoided the big numbers that plagued the rest of the field—most notably Lanto Griffin of Virginia Commonwealth.

Griffin teed off on the 47th hole of the 54-hole tournament at even-par and a shot clear of Long, but a final-nine 38 proved

to be Griffin’s demise.

Long’s last few holes were not devoid of adversity, though. After a birdie on 14 put him back to 3-under for the day, Long stepped up to the tee at No. 15—a 549-yard par5 he birdied the previous round.

With driver in hand on what is likely the toughest driving hole on the course, Long looked to avoid the two water hazards guarding either side of the landing area.

Long bashed a drive through the right side of the fairway and into a long lateral hazard, and after a conference with Green, safely pitched out of a treacherous lie back into the fairway, leaving him just under 200 yards to the green. Although Long bogeyed the hole after missing the green with his approach, his poise under pressure to not let his score balloon to a doubleor triple-bogey—and then to birdie the par-4 16th—allowed him to capture his first tournament victory.

“He’s got a good round going, and he knocks it into the hazard…. For some guys, that might have really bummed them out,” Green said. “Had he been thinking about the tournament lead, that might have been a stumbling block… but he kept his head about him, and stepped up on 16, 17 and 18 and hit great golf shots coming in.”

Second-half dominance sends Duke soaring past Eagles At halftime of No. 4 Duke’s matchup with ACC rival Boston College Saturday at Koskinen Stadium, the Blue Devils couldn’t help but remember a similar situation Feb. 27 against Maryland, one of the elite teams in the country.

Saturday, Duke trailed the Eagles 8-4 at the break. That day against the Terrapins, the Blue Devils were down 9-1 at half, and they only fell further behind in what ended up being a 17-4 loss.

Against Boston College, though, Duke (11-3, 2-2 in the ACC) was able to turn its play around in a big way after intermission, scoring eight goals of its own and allowing just three in a 12-11 win that kept the Blue Devils in the ACC race.

“First of all, Boston College 11 BC played a great game,” head coach DUKE 12 Kerstin Kimel said. “I felt like our team did not come ready to play. We were able to flip a switch at halftime and we were able to play the way we are capable of playing in the second half— we hit a point where we really started to buckle down and control the game. I was really proud of our girls that we were able to do that.”

After the first 30 minutes, though, Duke had shown very few signs that it would be able to overcome the deficit. In the first period, the Eagles (8-4, 1-3) led in almost every statistical category: Boston College cleared the ball more effectively, took more shots, and scored on more of its freeposition opportunities than the Blue Devils.

But the second half—especially the final 11 minutes—was more indicative of what this Duke team can do when it gets rolling. Lindsay Gilbride scored twice in a row to cut the Eagles’ lead to one, Sarah Bullard evened the scored with just under eight minutes to go, and Kat Thomas scored for Duke just 34 seconds later to put the Blue Devils ahead.

Defense took over from that point on—neither team

finished another shot the rest of the way—and for Duke, it was good enough.

“This is a good lesson for our players, that we’ve got to play 60 minutes, not 30,” Kimel said. “Now we’re looking forward to getting ourselves ready to play [North Carolina] on Wednesday.”

Kat Thomas’s unassisted goal with 7:24 left against Boston College gave Duke its first lead in the contest since the opening moments.

m. lax from page 9 brothers to have played for Duke—his eldest brother Dan was an All-American in goal for the Blue Devils and Chris played four years in the midfield—and the youngest showed off what he has learned from them. Although he entered the game without a college point, Loftus tallied six goals, including three in the second quarter alone.

“I haven’t really gotten that much time this season,” Loftus said. “I really appreciate the coaching staff for giving me a shot. It was a dream come true.”

Danowski praised the freshman attackman as well.

“Eddie Loftus is a freshman and he works so hard,” Danowski said. “We were delighted for Eddie.”

Along with Loftus, senior Matt Anderson, junior Andrew Rullan and sophomore Scot Meyer each scored their first goals in a Duke uniform.

“For a lot of guys, it was their first college goal and they scored the right way,” Danowski said. “I think they felt good about themselves and I know the team felt great about those guys making plays.”

Danowski also had the chance to diversify playing time at the goalie position. Starting freshman goalie Dan Wigrizer watched the game from the bench as four other Duke goalies took turns thwarting the Presbyterian attack. Senior Devon Sherwood started for the Blue Devils and earned the victory, making two saves and allowing just one goal in his 15 minutes of action.

Another senior, Terrence Molinari, got the opportunity to display his faceoff skills, replacing starter Sam Payton, who sat out the game as well. Like Loftus and Sherwood, Molinari looked like anything but a bench player in winning 13 of 18 faceoffs and collecting eight ground balls. “[It was] a great opportunity for [Molinari] to get a lot of reps facing off,” Danowski said. “He performed really admirably.”

The No. 6 Blue Devils travel to Charlottesville, Va. this Saturday to take on Virginia in their final game before the ACC Tournament. After an extended rest for its starters, Duke looks to upset the top-ranked Cavaliers in the latest installment of their rivalry.

Duke beaten twice in ACC play

Duke’s loss to rival and ACC leader North Carolina is in the past, but the No. 7 Blue Devils may still be feeling its effects as Duke followed up that defeat with two more against conference opponents this weekend.

The Blue Devils (17-5, 5-3 in the ACC) hit the road Saturday to face No. 20 Georgia Tech, and Duke was upset 4-3 in Atlanta. The very next day, No. 9 Clemson took down the Blue Devils by the same score.

Against the Tigers (19-4, 7-2), who boast four players among the top 102 in the nation, Duke was able to surprise its host by winning the doubles point. Doubles have not always been a strength for the Blue Devils this season, but they were able to take the point against the Tar Heels in midweek, and did so again Sunday behind wins at Nos. 2 and 3.

Singles play, though, did not work out quite as well

for Duke. Clemson’s Josipa Bek and Keri Wong won their matches at the top two singles slots, and straightset wins at Nos. 4 and 5 for the Tigers capped off an unhappy Duke road trip.

The play of freshman Mary Clayton was one of the few bright spots for the Blue Devils. Clayton was part of a successful doubles team with fellow underclassman Monica Gorny, and she survived a tough first set to blank her opponent 6-0 in the second at No. 6 singles.

The day before the defeat to the Tigers, Duke suffered a heartbreaking loss to Georgia Tech in a third-set tiebreak.

The Blue Devils won the doubles point yet again, but at No. 4 singles, Clayton went down 8-6 in the tiebreak to the Yellow Jackets’ Lynn Blau with the team score tied at three, giving Georgia Tech the match.

before games so we know what we’re going to see on weekends,” Currier said. “Take a good approach, shorten up, and try to get the barrel to it and make good things happen.”

Saturday’s contest was another thriller but this time the Blue Devils came up just short, losing 11-5 in 11 innings. The Duke offense mustered a grand slam from Currier plus an RBI double from Stroman, but it was not enough to support a strong outing from Dennis O’Grady. The junior threw fiveand-two-thirds innings and gave up only three runs.

The excitement began in the top of the ninth inning, when the Tigers knocked in two runs off Stroman to take a one-run lead. Stroman managed to make up for his pitching woes in the bottom of the frame, however, by lining a 1-2 pitch down the left field line. Jonathan Foreman crossed the plate easily from second base but Worms was thrown out trying to score from first, sending the game to extra innings.

Duke threatened in the 10th, putting runners on first and second with no out. Again running aggressively, McNally tried to score Brian Litwin from second on a wild pitch. After a remarkable relay by Clemson hurler Tomas Cruz, catcher John Nester applied the tag on Litwin to end the rally.

In the 11th, relievers Ryan Knott, Eric Pfisterer and Devin Burke could do nothing to staunch an explosive Tiger offense. By the time the final out had been recorded, Duke was down six runs.

Sunday’s matchup was markedly less dramatic. Making his first-ever weekend start, freshman Chase Bebout threw seven-and-a-third innings and only gave up two runs on six hits. Although the 6-foot-6, lanky righthander lacked consistent control over his fastball all afternoon, he was able to keep the typically high-scoring Clemson lineup in check.

“Bebout was the story today,” McNally said. “For it to be his first weekend start? A little bit jittery early on, struggling to throw strikes, he just settled in really nicely.”

The Blue Devils never trailed in a game in which they got to starter Will Lamb early and often, sending the Tiger to the showers after the third inning. Duke had ten hits, including home runs from Currier and O’Grady.

“You have to have some success to build some confidence in this league,” McNally said. “You’ve just got to grind them out and you’ve got to take advantage of being at home.”

Reid Carleton dropped just seven games in two singles matches this weekend as Duke won twice in ACC play.

Tech counterpart cramped up, winning 6-7, 7-6, 6-2 to give No. 20 Duke the victory.

“It felt great,” Arnould said. “We’ve been winning a lot and I’ve been losing, which is fine, but I’m just glad that when I actually needed to win for us to win, I won.” “[Dylan’s] been struggling, but the guy stepped up huge today,” assistant coach Josh Goffi said. “That’s a big match, and this will be a turning point for the rest of the season. He’ll get some confidence from this, and having ‘D’ on track is going to be huge for us. We’ll have a solid one through six at that point.”

It took a complete effort for the Blue Devils (14-6, 7-1 in the ACC) to put away the No. 24 Yellow Jackets Saturday at Ambler Stadium. Georgia Tech (15-4, 6-2) came out firing in doubles, staking out early leads at No. 2 and No. 3 and winning both, 8-5. Duke’s No. 1 team of Cunha and Carleton held on, 9-8, for their 15th consecutive win, but the Blue Devils dropped the doubles point for the first time in conference play.

“We came out a little flat,” Goffi said. “[Georgia Tech] knew that we were talented and they needed to bring it. They stepped up and realized they had a challenge. That was a very talented doubles squad that they had.”

After losing the first point, Duke quickly changed the tide of the match in singles, winning the first set in four of the six matches.

Cunha and Carleton were dominant at Nos. 1 and 2, blazing through in straight sets to give the Blue Devils the lead. Cunha, the No. 11 singles player in the country, had no trouble against No. 4 Guillermo Gomez.

With the win, he has now defeated each of the top four singles players in the country in his freshman season. Carleton also faced little resistance from his opponent, dropping

only two games.

“Cunha’s been amazing all year. He refuses to lose no matter what,” Arnould said.

“Reid’s been awesome—some really good wins—and he destroyed the guy today.

Those two guys today, we wouldn’t have had a shot in singles if they hadn’t stepped up and beaten those guys like they did.”

“[Dylan’s] been struggling, but the guy stepped up huge today.

That’s a big match and this will be a turning point for the rest of the season.”

— Josh Goffi In addition to Cunha and Carleton, sophomore Luke Marchese kept his undefeated conference record intact at court six to keep Duke ahead. Sophomore Torsten Wietoska had a chance to earn the team win but lost a third-set tiebreaker, paving the way for Arnould’s late heroics.

“We showed the fight of our team and we showed the heart of our team, which has been in question,” Goffi said. “Today, it just came out. Guys dug deep.... We deserved that win rather than a loss. I’m proud of our guys.”

The Blue Devils finished the weekend by breezing past Clemson (17-7, 3-6) at home, earning the first five points en route to a 5-2 victory. With the two wins, Duke jumped Georgia Tech for second place in the conference standings behind topranked Virginia.

winners. “Enemies of the People,” claimed the Anne Dellinger Grand Jury Award, the festival’s top prize. The documentary follows a Cambodian journalist as he investigates the reasoning behind millions of murders under the Khmer Rouge regime. “The Poot,” an insight into the process of Iranian carpet weaving, was awarded Best Short documentary.

The festival also gave Special Jury Prizes to al Qaeda documentary “The Oath” and Sundance-winner “Restrepo,” which chronicles the lives of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. Festival-goers voted “Waste Land,” a portrait of a Brazilian artist who turns trash into new artworks, the festival’s best. Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies deemed “My Perestroika” the best film that “is a potential catalyst for education and change.” The film follows five Russians as they revisit the fall of the Soviet Union.

The festival kicked off Thursday evening with a screening of D.A. Pennebaker’s latest offering “Kings of Pastry.”

Haj welcomed the crowd to the festival at the beginning of the sold-out premium event.

“Full Frame is strong,” Haj said. “We are poised to move forward, continuing to explore the medium of the documentary as it changes and grows.”

Haj, a Hollywood ex-pat who was appointed to helm Full Frame this past January, said he enthusiastically reached out to the local community for support.

“If you own a business, we want to partner with you,” Haj said. “If you’re an individual… [we want you to] be a member of the Full Frame family,” Haj also stressed her desire to become better integrated with Durham, announcing this summer’s upcoming series, “Movies on the Lawn,” which will feature four outdoor screenings of environmentally-focused films at the American Tobacco Campus.

Director of Programming Sadie Tillery followed up Haj’s sentiments, urging the audience to take in the festival at its fullest.

“Screen films until your eyes can take no more,” Tillery said. “[I hope] that the stories in the films we offer will affect you as intellectually, emotionally and aesthetically as they have us.”

The audience took Tillery’s words to heart. According to a statement released by Haj yesterday, attendance and ticket sales “climbed dramatically” this year, and the free outdoor screenings, which included “Pelada” by Duke alumnus Gwendolyn Oxenham, Trinity ’04, were attended by hundreds.

Rodrigo Dorfman, Trinity ’89, who presented his new film “Generation Exile” Thursday, said he found the atmosphere and energy of the festival to be ideal.

“I could never have imagined a better place to premiere my film than Full Frame,” Dorfman wrote in an e-mail.

“What makes this festival unique is that it is not geared towards the ‘business’ of documentary filmmaking, but the art and appreciation of the form. It offers audiences and filmmakers alike a place to share their love of storytelling.”

Center for Documentary Studies visiting lecturer Gary Hawkins, who directed the Jason Moran and Thelonius Monk musical exploration “In My Mind”, also benefitted from the hub of documentary talent. He said this year’s festival experience was the best he’s had, citing the opportunities the festival offered to trade and connect with other filmmakers.

Geoff Edgers, a former (Raleigh) News & Observer reporter turned filmmaker, came to the festival to premiere “Do It Again,” which chronicles Edgers’ efforts to reunite The Kinks. The screening, Friday evening’s premium event, marked a personal and professional achievement for Edgers.

“Full Frame is a huge dream of mine—I love this state and this place,” he said. “I never really thought I’d be in it and standing here.”

deadline, he also ensured that the extension adhered to the DSG bylaws. Section 1(b) of the election bylaw authorizes the attorney general to determine the deadline for students to declare their candidacy.

And because an extension of the election packet deadline pushed back the official start of campaigning, as required by Section 3(a) of the bylaw, Shankar obtained clear assent from the DSG Election Commission in order to move the start date.

In a stunningly ignorant unanimous decision, however, the DSG Judiciary dismissed Shankar’s rationale and declared his extension of the election packet deadline unconstitutional.

The Judiciary’s opinion rests on two baseless lines of argument. First, it declared that

an extension of the deadline is not allowed because the election bylaw does not explicitly permit the attorney general to change the date once it has been set. Second, the Judiciary claims that the Election Commission was not consulted about a change to the campaigning start date.

Neither argument carries any weight. Limiting the attorney general’s power to set the election packet deadline— simply because the bylaw does not explicitly guarantee the authority to reset it—employs an impossibly strict reading of the election bylaw. If every DSG official was held to such a strict standard and his or her power limited only to what is explicitly listed in the constitution, the entire organization would be ineffectual.

Moreover, the Judiciary’s

conclusion that the Election Commission did not approve the deadline switch is simply not true.

The end result of the Judiciary’s decision is perhaps the most troubling part of the entire situation. The candidacies of 13 students have been disqualified, meaning that all but one of the VP candidates and many of the Senate candidates are running unopposed. This will only undermine DSG’s legitimacy and hamper its goal of increasing student involvement in the organization.

Unfortunately, the Judiciary’s poor decision stands and cannot be appealed. Moving forward, the DSG Senate should amend the election bylaw so that it will not be subject to judicial activism and petty student politicking in the future.

F

irst of all, you’re welcome for last Monday night.

You guys went to a few too many classes on Monday, so I let it get kinda close. Fortunately, a few bros threw down some brewskis on Randolph’s bench and tipped the scales in your favor.

Second, where I’m from, there’s a sporting goods store called “Play It Again Sports.”

A friend of mine once monday, monday told me that the store’s the joker employees go out “finding” sports equipment around the city and put it on sale as “previously owned.”

So he said, the store got its name because you would quite literally buy back your own sports equipment in order to play with it again.

Even though my friend was almost certainly lying, his idea is pretty brilliant. It really is a remarkable business model: little overhead, no costs of production and almost no labor. Why can’t the economics department teach you more useful things like this?

Instead, I, using my hard-earned… I mean, hardlyearned state-school education, will help you elitist folk out a little bit. This could be my best revenue-producing idea ever. If only Duke listens to this one, it’ll profit an untold amount. And we know y’all need it, with all the budget cuts around campus recently—LDOC T-shirts cost money? How much money? $3 to $5? That could get me like seven Swedish Fish from the Lobby Shop.

Provided you haven’t been living in a balloon for the past few years, you know that Duke has some financial troubles on its hands. Don’t worry, this isn’t another one of those anti-union columns (although they’d stop complaining if they knew how I paid my workers).

I don’t even have a problem with unions. Especially because every union I’ve recently encountered has lost its bite. It used to take something to break up a union. Now, all you have to do is have a few mysterious disappearances and unfortunate accidents— and ta-da! Nobody mentions they can’t afford to buy bread or get health care. Not to mention the surge in productivity that helps you business managers pay off your yacht.

So since Local 77 is definitely staying in town, we gotta get a little creative in order to make up for the slack in productivity. We should just take a hint from my buddy and his ideas on sports stores. Residence Life and Housing Services needs to establish a Duke Thrift Store in the Bryan Center where they sell back all of the items that they’ve taken out of bathrooms and hallways.

Half-full bottles of shampoo and toothpaste for full price! The kids’ll pay. They already pay hiked fees for everything else on campus. All they have to do is swipe their money cards, which, in any case, hardly count as real money anyway. And plus, the Duke Thrift Store’s goods are gonna have sentimental value, adding at least another dollar onto each price. Who doesn’t get emotionally, if not physically, attached to their beloved bottle of Herbal Essences? Have you seen their commercials?

Those ladies don’t need a date for years after they’re done shampooing.

RLHS can also get Duke Dining in on this thrift store extravaganza, and they can sell all the food points they somehow “acquire” at the end of the school year. Not to mention the Marketplace swipes that “disappear” at the end of each week. Just think of the demand for food points that cost 90 cents on the dollar! For those of you who dropped Econ 51, it’d be pretty damn high. For you wannabe math-types who withdrew from Math 32, it’s called infinity.

After the thrift store gets started and Duke gets used to exploiting its students even more, we could potentially get Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst to take some classes at the Kenan Institute for Ethics, where he could learn that, provided you aren’t in business with yours truly, “acquiring” money from students is not the way to get back into the black. Everyone knows that’s what the day after Thanksgiving is for.

The Joker will dance to this beat and hold a lover close.

lettertotheeditor Recognizing the head of the Cameron Crazies I was in Indianapolis for the game where fans and players alike proved why we are No. 1—not because we make every shot but because we never give up. But in all the hoopla of the championship, of which I hope everyone reading this was a part, there is someone we often forget.

I arrived at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis at around 1:30 a.m. early, early Monday morning. Despite the monsooning and heavy wind I could make out near the entrance to the student section tarps strapped down slowly circling around the base of the huge stadium. Head Line Monitor Zach White, a senior, seemingly out of nowhere appeared from one of the tarps, ready to do sign us up in line. As he wrote that “36” on my hand, it suddenly hit me—the sheer CRAZIEness of the situation.

We were in Indianapolis, 600 miles from home, in the middle of the night in the middle of a storm. But

here was Zach, as peppy as ever, doing his job. Not even the job that he took on when he became head line monitor, but a duty he seemed determine to do until the very last game.

The next day, when Butler fans didn’t dare leave their spots, we could relax because we were organized, because we weren’t just fans but were organized Crazies, as usual. But that would not have happened if it had not been for Zach.

I think Zach is too often forgotten in The Chronicle and on campus. So I wanted to tell the “untold” story of Indianapolis. If anyone is the face of the sixth man, it’s Zach White. Maybe even next year on senior night they should get to stand up there next to the senior managers. If next year’s head line monitor is anything like Zach, they deserve to.
